School Closing

Posted on by

District Message:

“Greetings, 

All Dearborn Public Schools will be closed for students effective immediately, March 13, 2020. This is a result of Governor Whitmer’s order to close all K-12 school buildings, public, private, and boarding, starting Monday, March 16 until Sunday, April 5. 

Dearborn Public Schools spring break will take place from Monday, April 6 through Friday, April 10. Students will return to school on Monday, April 13, 2020.

Students may report on Friday, March 13, 2020 at the normal start time to only pick up their belongings and school supplies. 

All staff should report on Friday, March 13, 2020 to assist students. Staff will only attend for the morning half of the day followed by a half day release time.

All staff should continue to check their email daily for updates and information.

As of Thursday, 3-12-2020 there are no reported or confirmed cases of COVID 19 in the Dearborn Public Schools. 

This closure of schools is part of a nationwide effort to slow the spread of the COVID 19 virus. These actions will not eliminate the COVID 19 virus, cure COVID 19,  and this will not guarantee that a person will not contract the COVID virus at a later time. Again, these actions are part of a nationwide effort to slow the spread and limit the number of people who will become infected. 

Thank you”

تحية طيبة،

سيتم إغلاق جميع مدارس ديربورن العامة للطلاب اعتبارًا من 13 مارس 2020. وهذا نتيجة لأمر الحاكم ويتمان بإغلاق جميع المباني المدرسية من الروضة حتى الثانية والعشرون والخاصة والداخلي ، بدءًا من الاثنين 16 مارس حتى الأحد ، أبريل 5.

ستعقد عطلة الربيع في مدارس ديربورن العامة من الاثنين 6 أبريل حتى الجمعة 10 أبريل. سيعود الطلاب إلى المدرسة يوم الاثنين 13 أبريل 2020.

يمكن للطلاب الإبلاغ يوم الجمعة 13 مارس 2020 في وقت البدء العادي لالتقاط متعلقاتهم ومستلزماتهم المدرسية.

يجب على جميع الموظفين الإبلاغ يوم الجمعة 13 مارس 2020 لمساعدة الطلاب. سيحضر الموظفون فقط في نصف اليوم صباحًا يليه وقت إطلاق لمدة نصف يوم.

يجب على جميع الموظفين الاستمرار في التحقق من بريدهم الإلكتروني يوميًا للحصول على التحديثات والمعلومات.

يرجى توجيه جميع الأسئلة يجب توجيهها إلى المشرف المباشر الخاص بك.

حتى يوم الخميس الموافق 3-12-2020 ، لم يتم تسجيل أو تأكيد حالات COVID 19 في مدارس ديربورن العامة.

هذا الإغلاق للمدارس جزء من جهد وطني لإبطاء انتشار فيروس COVID 19. لن تؤدي هذه الإجراءات إلى القضاء على فيروس COVID 19 ، وعلاج COVID 19 ، ولن يضمن ذلك عدم إصابة الشخص بفيروس COVID في وقت لاحق. مرة أخرى ، تعد هذه الإجراءات جزءًا من جهد على مستوى الدولة لإبطاء الانتشار والحد من عدد الأشخاص الذين سيصابون بالعدوى.

شكرا لكم

Geer Park is State Ranked

Posted on by

The Mackinac Center for Public Policy is recognizing 19 Dearborn Public Schools for their outstanding performance on its recent report card.  The Center’s report placed the schools in the top 100 for one of three performance comparisons when state test scores were adjusted for the number of low-income students in the building. We are proud to say that Geer Park is one of the schools recognized.

Geer Park Elementary ranked 44th, scoring in the 98.05 percentile, and was 17th for long-term performance.

The Mackinac Center for Public Policy is a nonpartisan research and educational institute which touts itself as dedicated to improving the quality of life for all Michigan residents.

“Parents and educators should be able to see more clearly what kind of impact their school has on student learning, rather than simply seeing results that are strongly linked to student poverty,” said Ben DeGrow, Mackinac Center’s director of education policy and co-author of the study. “Our Context and Performance Report Card adds another important dimension by going beyond raw test scores.”

Dr. Maleyko said, “While we know there is always more work to do, we take to heart our motto ‘Students First – Inspire, Educate, Celebrate.’ For most of our elementary and middle schools, this report is something to celebrate.”

See the Mackinac Center CAP report for more details.
