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.

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. 

Please continue to check the blog and with your classroom teacher for updates.

Following these good hygiene practices can help you avoid the flu, colds and viruses.

• Remain at home if you are sick, and avoid close contact with others who are sick.
• Avoid touching your mouth, eyes or nose with unwashed hands.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are unavailable.
• Cover your cough with a tissue or sleeve.
• Clean frequently touched surfaces.
