FAQ
Hello Kindergarten Families,
Below, I am answering some frequently asked questions about the kindergarten class and remote learning. I will update this page as questions present themselves.
Q: Who is currently in charge of the class and how can I reach them?
A: For the time being I (Mrs. Anthony) am in charge of the kindergarten class and will be running the blog. I am working with Mrs. Muston to run the Google Classroom site for all Lindbergh Kindergarten students except Mrs. Miller’s split class (she has her own Google Classroom). You can reach me through the Remind app, email or blog comments and I will always get back with you within 24 hours. If I do not get back with you within 24 hours, if you could please send me another text or email that would be very helpful as I am between 2 buildings and a separate department and receive a very high volume of emails per day.
In addition, I will plan to be available between normal school hours 8:30am-3:30pm, and will check my email and blog frequently during those hours. Emails or Remind texts outside of those hours will be answered within 24 hours.

Q:What is my child’s student number or email?
A: You should have received a personal email with this information from me, however if you have not, please email me or send me a text through remind as I cannot publicly post student numbers.
Q: Where can I find my child’s login information for various websites:
A: Go to the page titled “Important Links/Info” and most items can be found there. Again, if you are having trouble please contact Mrs. Anthony.
Q: Are you currently grading items that students need to complete online?
A: No. Presently, your child will not receive an official grade for the work assigned during the school closure. However, they will receive feedback on certain items, and they are expected to continue their learning and complete the majority of assignments. At this time, teachers have been instructed to post enrichment learning activities, meaning that everything posted has been taught to your child in some capacity already. These are skills that students need to continue to build and refine. We also understand that you may not be able to complete all assignments and that all assignments may not fit your child just right. Right now, we are airing on the side of caution and posting more material instead of less. We do not expect all students to complete all activities; please just continue your child’s learning daily using some of the items posted. If a student has completed no assignments or is not logged into any learning sites, you will receive an email communication from Mrs. Anthony.
Q: How Do I log on to Google Classroom?
Click the instructions attached here:
OR, go to dearbornschools.org and click on student portal. Click on email/google access and login to your child’s email. There will be an invitation from me to join google classroom, just click and join!
Q: If Mrs. Muston or another teacher posts something to Google Classroom should my child do it?
Yes. As previously stated Mrs. Muston, the specials, and resource teachers and I are all using one Google Classroom for Kindergarten. Please complete activities and assignments posted by all teachers in this site.
