Dear Parent/Guardian,

Your opinion is important to us, and we ask that you take the time to complete this survey. The online survey will be available from 5/19/17 to 5/31/17.

Today was Planting Day at Long! Students, staff and parents worked to clean up and plant along the front of the school. Mrs. Moricz, who heads up the PTA Landscaping committee, helped to organize and oversee things. Thanks Everyone, Long School looks great!

Long students and staff enjoyed learning more about past Presidents and even took the Oath of Office as Representative Abdullah Hammoud shared a book about the Presidency. Students then shared some ideas of what they would do as President. Interesting!

Dear Parents,
The Dearborn Public Schools would like to take this opportunity to remind you about the importance of immunizing your child. Immunizations are one of the most effective measures to protect children from harmful diseases and even death. All children who attend school in Michigan are required by state law to be fully immunized.

Vaccination is one of the best ways parents can protect infants, children, and teens from 16 potentially harmful viral and bacterial diseases including the following: Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Bacterial Meningitis, Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Hepatitis B, and Chickenpox.

Vaccine-preventable diseases can be very serious, may require hospitalization, or even be deadly–especially in infants and young children.

Although we have not had any cases of students with Chickenpox in Dearborn Public Schools, the Wayne County Health Department has informed us of several new cases being reported throughout Wayne County. There is no reason to be overly alarmed, but we felt it was important to share this information with our parents.

If you would like more information on immunizing your child and counsel in regards to the health benefits and risks of immunizations, please contact your primary care physician, one of the urgent care facilities in our city, the Wayne County Health Department, or visit Michigan Department of Health and Human Services website.

Regards,

The Dearborn School Nurses

Long School Family Literacy Night is this Wednesday, March 8. The Book Fair will be open from 5:30 to 7:30 for browsing and sales. Teachers and staff will lead students (and parents)  in literacy-based activities in the gym from 5:30 to 7:00. The theme of the Book Fair and Literacy Night is Fiesta!

Teachers from Long, Nowlin and Whitmore-Bolles Schools are collaborating with grade level peers to strengthen their use of Content and Language Objectives. This will help keep students focused on specific common core skills as well as the language to express their learning. Many thanks to Nadra Shami for facilitating this very productive day.

Long School third grade students visited the State Capital this week. They met State Representative Abdullah Hammoud (Dearborn), who gave them an up close look at the House floor.

You are invited to attend a very important informational meeting on Friday, January 27 at 8:50 am.  Mrs. Morey, Mrs. Newsted, Mrs. Liepe and I will be providing more information about the Reading by Third Grade legislation, as well as how the district and school will be working to support students.  We especially want to share specific suggestions with you for continuing to work with your child at home as they move into more structured Reading instruction.

If you are not able to attend this meeting, we would be happy to discuss the agenda items with you at a more convenient time.  We also plan to schedule additional meeting days to provide you with materials and ideas for enhancing your child’s learning at home.  Through our continued partnership, we plan to ensure that every child at Long School is achieving at or above grade level.
