Good evening Vikings,

Welcome to week 2 of Remote Learning, I hope you had a nice weekend 🙂 I have posted the new assignments that are due Friday, March27th. The i-Ready log is actually on the Weekly Plan document. Just type what skill you worked on and how many minutes you worked on it. I plan to be on Google Hangout on Tuesday and Thursday this week from 11:00am-12:00pm, please join me to work on math problems and ask questions. I will post a link on Google Classroom just a few minutes before 11:00am. I have a touch screen laptop so we can work problems out…IF you’re up for it, I would like to give you more challenging Algebra problems during our video meeting 😀 FUN FUN FUN!

There are some rules to keep in mind when you are in a Hangout Meeting:

Please show up on time 11:00am-12:00pm
Find a quiet place, free from distractions
Maintain respect for the speaker, one person should be talking at a time
Maintain a respectful appearance
Video needs to remain ON to promote focus & learning
Refrain from eating in front of the camera

I’m excited to see how you all are doing during this time away from school, even if you don’t have questions, please join us so you can check in and say hello.

Talk to you soon,
Ms.Savage

Dearborn Schools has announced that O.L. Smith will be added as a student meal distribution site starting on Monday, March 23.

Students, parents or a family representative can stop by any of meal locations from 10 a.m. to noon each week day to pick up meals.  One bag will be handed out for each child under 18 in the home.  The Dearborn School student does not need to attend school at that building.  Students do not need to be present, and a designated person can pick up meals for all the children in the family.
The free grab-and-go meals include food for lunch and breakfast.  Meals for Saturday and Sunday can be picked up on Friday.  
Six other food sites opened on Tuesday, including Fordson, Edsel Ford and Dearborn high schools; McCollough-Unis; Salina Intermediate; and Woodworth Middle School.
Signage at each site will direct parents and students to where to enter the building.  Food will be near entrances, usually near the kitchen, to minimize the amount of time community members spend in the facilities.

The grab-and-go meals will be served at least through April 3. 

This was taken from Dearborn Public School’s Facebook page:

With food distribution and online learning underway, we want to make sure students and families are emotionally supported during these troubling times. Families can call a hotline at 313-827-8500 or by email at dss@dearbornschools.org.

While you’re home, perhaps you want to spread some happiness around your neighborhood. I hear this is happening all over Dearborn. It’s simple, make the following item to hang in your front window of your home. When families are walking around they will have something positive to look for.

~Stay positive and healthy

*I copy and pasted this right off of Dearborn Public School’s Facebook page 🙂

**I ALSO just learned that O.L.Smith has been added to the pickup locations, starting on March 23rd, 2020 this.

Dearborn Public Schools is offering free pickup lunch and breakfast for students while school is closed for the mandatory shut down over the next three weeks.

Families will be able to stop in and pick up a bag with both breakfast and lunch for each child in the family.  Pickups will run daily from 10 a.m. to noon starting tomorrow, March 17, at Fordson, Edsel Ford and Dearborn high schools, McCollough-Unis, Salina Intermediate, and Woodworth Middle School.

Signage at each site will direct parents and students where to enter the building. Food will be near entrances to minimize the amount of time community members spend in the facilities.

Please note, meals are available to anyone age 18 and younger.  Students do not need to be present, and the Dearborn School student does not need to attend at that building.  A designated person can collect meals for multiple children.  Meals for Saturday and Sunday can be picked up on Friday.

The program will allow the District’s 20,700 students to continue to have access to healthy food.  Gov. Gretchen Whitmer last week ordered all Michigan schools closed from March 16 through April 3 to slow the spread of novel coronavirus and cases of COVID-19.  Dearborn Schools is scheduled for spring break April 6 to 10, so school will not resume in the District until April 13.

The grab-and-go meals will be served at least through April 3.

Superintendent Glenn Maleyko praised the District’s food service team for quickly implementing this drastic change in service to meet the needs of families.

“We appreciate the patience of our families and community as we all try to adjust to this sudden change from closing schools,” Dr. Maleyko said.  “More than three quarters of our students qualify for free or reduced priced school meals.  We realize this food is important to our families, many of whom may be facing additional financial hardships from the sudden economic changes related to COVID-19.”

Check the Dearborn Public Schools website at www.dearbornschools.org for any updates or changes to the meal program or for other issues regarding the school closure.
