Important Notes

❖While all work is enrichment, we encourage students to engage daily. This engagement will help them be prepared when they return to school in the fall

❖Student participation will be monitored and captured. This will be done through student logins to the online portal, telephone interactions or communication with parents who verify student engagement.

❖All resources and current information can be found on the district’s website at www.detroitk12.org/covid19.

Additional Contact Information

Family Check-Ins

It is our goal that every student is engaged every day, just as they would be if they are in school. They may be attending sessions online or on the phone with their teachers, but an additional staff member will also make contact once or twice a week. This is to ensure are parents have their questions answered, feel supported and are not in need of additional resources the school can provide.

The calls will generally come from a 313 or 248 phone number. The staff member will always identify who they are and their role at the school.
