Dear Cub Families,

Thank you for sharing your preschool child as you worked together virtually with our amazing preschool teachers, Ms. Jackie Dziedziula, Ms. Chris Seppala, and Ms. Avery Shelton and our terrific paraprofessionals, Ms. Dilara Ahmed, Ms. Farhana Akther, and Ms. Linda Oglesby. You have done an amazing job and we thank you. We are looking forward to having your child continue as part of the ECE family by attending Kindergarten with us. Again, I thank you. You are true superheroes!

Kind Regards,

Vickie Smith

Kindergarten students studied planets and space, and they loved watching how astronauts washed their hair, brushed their teeth and ate on the International Space Station!

Also, students in learning labs worked with pattern blocks and geometric shapes. Terrific!!!

The students in Mr. Sawka's Learning Lab learned about cats. Students made cat faces on paper plates with cut out whiskers. Students then described the characteristics of their cat orally in class.

Last week, students built their own trucks using their engineering skills. The trucks were donated from Home Depot. Students read directions, measured, assembled, and designed their own trucks using skills from STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). Afterwards, students wrote a summary about the process used to build their trucks. Students were very excited to test their trucks upon completion.

Prior to testing, there were many I-Ready Rockstars from Ms. Lesko's class! (Students who meet 50 minutes of math AND 50minutes of reading become rockstars!)

Jameena, Mohamed A, Aala, Tahreaan, Waseem, Rachel, Bakir, Mohammad N,

Brielle, Oliver, Vinny, Saxon, Raifa, Jasmina, & Zaid! Wow!!! Congratulations!!!!

Planting flowers for a member of the ECE community was an act of love by Ms. Lesko and Ms. Haacke. We appreciate your beautification and kindness!

NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY!

Additional Sites Will Increase Capacity to 20,000 Vaccinations Weekly

Hello Parents,

Your child's teacher will be sending out a ECE COVID-19 Student Check-in Questionnaire through Class Dojo that must be completed by 11:00 on the day that your child attends learning labs.

A sample Questionnaire is shown below:

Please complete this online form by 11:00 AM on the same day that your child attends learning labs (before they get on the bus or arrive at school). This will speed the process for entering the building and maintain safety for all.

Email address

Learning Lab Teacher's Name (Choose the name of the teacher that your child sees for learning labs.)

Child's First and Last Name

Parent's First and Last Name

Today's Date (The day of class)

1. Have you or anyone in your home traveled outside of MI or the US in last 14 days?

Yes or no

2. Does anyone in your family or home have COVID-19? Yes or no

3. Has your child experienced any cold or flu-like symptoms in the last 14 days (to include fever, cough, sore throat, respiratory illness, difficulty breathing, aches or pains that are unusual)? Yes or no

4. Did your child travel with anyone to this school or any other schools today? Yes or no

5. Did your child have a temperature above 100 degrees F today or show any other signs of illness? Yes or no

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the potential risk of exposure to our employees, students, families, and visitors, if you or a family member travels, we are asking that you complete a simple information questionnaire. Your participation is important to help us take precautionary measures to protect you and everyone in the Hamtramck Public School District. A sample copy of the form is below.

HPS is beginning Learning Labs again. However, it is a gradual return to the building in phases to ensure safety for all. Students will not need backpacks or computers. Instruction will be teacher-led, hands-on, and engaging for students.

Q2 - Phase One: Flex Learning (Return to Building - Tuesday, March 2, 2021)

In anticipation of students returning to the building for instruction, a flex learning model will be implemented, including two components: 1) face-to-face (learning labs) and 2) virtual.

Flex learning combines face-to-face instruction (F2F) in the building with virtual learning on the computer at home. In the context of coronavirus school re-openings, a flex learning model would reduce the number of students in the building by delivering some of the course delivery online/virtual and some in learning labs (LL) in F2F instruction.

Learning labs (LL) take place in the school building and include small groups of identified students who are provided academic instruction/intervention by the teacher.

Identified ELL (newcomers) and SPED students (with IEPs or 504s) will attend learning labs in the building on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:15 - 3:00.

Q2 - Phase Two: Flex Learning (Return to Building - Tuesday, March 16, 2021)

An expansion of the number of students returning to the building for instruction will begin on March 16, 2021. These students (Cohort B) will meet on Tuesday and Thursday. The flex learning model will continue to be implemented, including two components: 1) face-to-face and 2) virtual, and will include at-promise students.

At-promise students are students who face challenges, but definitely have the potential to succeed. Some of these challenges include:

1. Students who are chronically absent and have missed twenty or more days of school

2. Students who have learning gaps and need additional support from the teacher

3. Students who are disengaged and rarely complete assignments and/or rarely participate in meetings

Expanded Learning labs (XLL) take place in the school building and include additional small groups of identified students who are provided academic instruction/intervention by the teacher, including at-promise, ELL, and SPED students.

Q2 - Phase Three: Flex Learning (Return to Building - Tuesday, April 20 2021 Cohorts have been consolidated to Tuesday and Thursday only due to decreasing numbers. )

The flex learning model will continue to be implemented, including two components: 1) face-to-face and 2) virtual, and will include at-promise students.

Parapros will continue to meet virtually with students in small groups. Parents, please make sure that your child attends these virtual small groups for academic success!

At this time, a small number of students are being invited to return for instruction in learning labs to ensure the safety of everyone.

Please note that certain safety procedures will be implemented:

1. All students and staff MUST wear a mask at all times, including on the bus.

2. All students will work independently at their table using their own designated materials only to maintain 6 foot social distancing.

3. All students are eligible to receive food from the district, but they will need to eat prior to school or after school, as we will not serving food in school at this time.

Hello Cub Families.

To obtain a laptop for new students or for help with technology, you will need to visit outside of Room 123 at Hamtramck High School on the corner of Gallagher and Casmere to receive support with district issued devices. (Students must be accompanied by an adult at least 18 years of age.) Unfortunately, ECE's building will not be open to offer support, so it is important that you contact district technology by emailing or calling or visiting the high school in Room 123.

If you need help with technology, you can also call or email technology:
