UPDATES
I am sure you are all aware by now of the governor’s decision to close down schools for the remainder of the year. This is very sad news for all of us. Remote learning will continue however. We will continue to update you with information as we get it. Also, remember you can go to Dr. Maleyko’s blog, Facebook, etc.
Early Childhood had a remote staff meeting today. Our administrators throughout the district have been working very hard to figure things out during this crisis. This came from The Early Childhood Programs Billing Department:
Now that Governor Whitmer has ended the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year, we will begin working on refunds for those who paid all of March or the entire 2019-2020 tuition. Please be patient as we work with the school district and our software provider to begin this process.
I have also been in contact with the other teachers in our building. Mrs. Angela, our K teacher, would like to share this information with you :If your child will be entering K in our building next year. You may fill out our enrollment forms online or email the packet to our principal Mrs. Fournier for the packet. Her email is fournit@dearbornschools.org.
I am also aware that some of you have paid for the field trip to Real Life Farm. Unfortunately, the money is locked up at school, and we can not get it to you at this time. We will be issuing your refunds as soon as we can get back into the building. I am very sorry for this.
The lesson for Stephanie and I for Friday is Handwriting Heroes. Please do “Cannon Pops”. Another thing that was brought up by Mrs. Medica in our meeting was that at the Kindergarten level, children should only be doing remote learning for 30 minutes a day. Please make sure your child or yourself are not being overwhelmed with too much remote learning. We also realize that many of you not only have to help them with school work but you are working at home yourselves. Always remember that these are only suggestions. Please make sure your child is getting enough play time and outside time. Children at this age mostly learn through play.
I sent out virtual cards with notes to all of your children yesterday. Some of them got them and some did not. Please check your spam folders. If you still don’t see it, please let me know and I will resend it to your child. I thought they would get a kick out of it!
Lastly, next week is Spring Break. There will be NO online lessons during this time. Everyone can take a little breather from school work. Mrs. Stephanie and I will be back at it on Monday, April 13. Spring Break in my backyard? Who would have thought, right?
Stay safe, healthy, and strong <3
