Class News

Lindbergh Community,

I hope each and everyone of you are healthy and safe. The last three weeks have been filled with emotions, uncertainly and appreciation for the things we have. Although this spring break is unique it will provide us with some time to Sharpen the Saw at home. I challenge parents, students, and staff to take this week to take care of ourselves by eating right, exercising and sleeping well. Focus our energy on what is most important!

We will reconnect on April 13th, have a safe and restful break!

Parents,

We’ve got some great news to share! Zaman International will be at Dearborn High on Wednesday from 10-12:00 pm to deliver 250 boxes of food to families that may need them; the boxes feed a family of four for 1-2 weeks. 

Feel free to use the south side of the building where normal breakfast and lunch pickup occurs. 

Thanks Najah Bazzy and Zaman International for their generosity!

Thanks

Mr. Martin

Lindbergh Families,

I hope everyone continues to be healthy and safe. Last weeks Virtual Spirit Week was a hit. Thank you to everyone for sharing your photos. This week, we were asked by Dearborn High to join their Virtual Spirit Week along with the other Dearborn Feeder schools and since it was so much fun, why not! Please join in the fun and show your Dearborn spirit by posting photos on your social media with #pioneerpride.

Good Afternoon Lindbergh Community

The weekend is here and although the weather forecast is calling for rain, we all like to get outside and get some fresh air. This is especially true during this time of year when the temperatures are on the rise and we all have been spending a lot of time inside. 

Many are thinking that it might be alright to get outside and have children play with one or two friends. Unfortunately, this is not something we should be doing at this time. The battle to stop the spread of the COVID 19 virus is on-going and gathering in small groups, even outside at the local park is not something we should be doing. 

During the State of Michigan mandated shut down, all Dearborn Public School facilities, including playgrounds, and athletic fields, will be closed to the public. Please do not attempt to go onto the fields or access the playgrounds.  If you are found on the property you will be asked to leave.  

The Governor has ordered that we all shelter in place.  This is not a recommendation or suggestion. This action is being taken to help in the effort to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus and to mitigate the number of people becoming sick. Hospitals in southeastern Michigan are being overwhelmed and are reaching the point where they are unable to meet the needs of those arriving for care. We must all do our part to help slow the spread of this virus and remain at home!  

The Governor did say that it is ok to go for a walk, run, or bike ride. However, we can not gather in groups at local parks or playgrounds.

We look forward to the day, hopefully in the not too distant future, when our facilities will once again be open to the public and we can all return to our regular routines. The District appreciates all of the support that the Dearborn community has shown and the tremendous amount of community spirit that has been demonstrated during this very difficult time.  Together we will get through this, one community, #DearbornStrong!

On Monday, March 30, Dearborn Public Schools is changing the format of its free student meal distributions.

Meals will now be distributed three times a week, instead of five.  

Meals will generally be distributed on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. However, the week of April 6 to 10, meals will be handed out on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.  Friday, April 10, is Good Friday and a holiday for District staff.

Fewer meal distributions should make it easier for families to get the food while reducing the risk of virus exposure for both our families and our staff. Each food bag will still contain both breakfast, lunch and milk for a child under 18, but now the bag will have food for each day until the next distribution.

The grab-and-go meals will continue to be handed out between 10 a.m. and noon at the same seven schools.  The Dearborn Schools student does not have to attend that school to be eligible for a meal. A designated person can pick up meals for multiple children.  The student does not need to be present.

The distribution sites are Fordson, Dearborn and Edsel Ford high schools; McCollough/Unis; Salina Intermediate; Smith Middle School; and Woodworth Middle School.

The program is allowing the District’s 20,700 students to continue to have access to healthy food. The meals are funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s School Lunch Program. Dearborn Public Schools already used the federal program to offer all kindergarten to 12th grade students free lunch and breakfast on school days.

Meal distributions will continue through the state-ordered school closure.  Currently, schools are set to reopen on April 14.

Check firstbell.dearbornschools.org for the latest information on the school closure and the food program.

Don’t forget to share your family selfie with Ms. Tiba: tibaz@dearbornschools.org

Lindbergh Families,

Hope everyone is safe and healthy. Please join us by participating in our first Virtual Spirit Week. Each day you are invited to share photos on your social media feeds with family and friends. On Thursday, you are invited to share your photo with Ms. Tiba and I will be posting the submitted photos on the blog for all families to see. Lets have some fun making memories!

Lindbergh Families,

Throughout all of these changes, it is important that we focus on Sharpening our Saw, this is equally important for the adults as well. With all of the uncertainty, I wanted to kindly request that each of us please spend some time and watch this video. We got this, Lindbergh!!!
