Hello!

I hope everyone is healthy, happy, and had some time to enjoy the summer!  As we begin this new school year, it comes with questions and concerns on how everything will look with changes due to the Covid-19 pandemic.  As information is provided, I will be sure to share it with families. 

The beginning of our school year, we will be completely virtual (school hours will be 8:15-3:10, half days will end at 11:10).  The first week of school, August 31st-September 3rd will be half days).  There is no school September 4th and September 7th for the Labor Day holiday weekend. 

“Learning labs” will begin the week of September 21st.  I will be contacting families individually next week for scheduling.  “Learning labs” will run daily with a morning session and an afternoon session.  Each session will be 2.5 hours and bussing will be provided.  I am personally very excited about the opportunity for “Learning labs,” I cannot wait to work face-to-face with the students in small individualized groups! 

Fell free to call me, text me, or email me (thompst1@dearbornschools.org)

Parents,

If your son/daughter is in need of a chromebook to participate virtually please let me know.
