Hi Families,

Due to the expected snow, the district cancelled our bus for today’s field trip.  So soon as we reschedule it, I will let you know.

Also, in case you didn’t receive a phone call from the Dearborn Public Schools, you may pick up your child before dismissal time today and it will be considered an excused absence.  Otherwise, school is still in session.

Stay warm and save!
