Honors Assembly

We will be honoring our current eighth graders next month.  Due to space limitations, we will have a seperate honor assembly for each team.  In order to allow enough space for parents, students must only attend the honor assembly for their team. It is important to note that this is not a graduation.

At the honor assembly, all students must be dressed in accordance with school dress policy.  This means no strapless or spaghetti straps without a shawl.  students also do not need to overdress for the event. More information will be sent home prior to the assembly.

Internet Safety

The Wayne County Sheriff's Department recently came to address our parents and our students.  They spoke about the important topic of Internet Safety and suggested several steps parents can use to keep their children on track.

  • Place the computer in a common area where you can easily see the screen (Never put a computer in the bedroom)
  • Talk to your children about what they are doing online.  Walk about often to see the computer screen.
  • Limit the amount of time kids are on the computer
  • Be aware of what kids are doing on the computer.

Cell Phones

A reminder about the Dearborn Public School's Cell Phone Policy.  Beginning in 6th grade students are allowed to caryy cell phones if their parents wish them to.  However, the cell phones must not be out at all.  Cell phones that are seen or heard will be confiscated. Students may use the pay phone before or after school. In an emergency situation, students may use the phoe in the office. Students should make appropriate arrangements the day before if possible. Students can only use cell phones before and after the school day while outside the building. Cell phones should be a parent decision.

  Camera phones are considered cameras and are not allowed at all in school.

 

High School Requiements

The State of MIchigan is currently considering legislation that will change the requirements for students to graduate from high school. Although the law has not been passed yet, it is clear that some changes will be made. These changes will affect middle school as well. We will continue to adjust our instruction to best help our children and prepare them for the future.
