Learning Center at STEM
02 weeks
- Learning Center begins next week on Tuesday, Sept. 19 and runs every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00-4:00. Learning center is an after-school work session that is available for students who need to complete missing work, take retakes, or need to use technology at school. It will be run by all teachers and held in different rooms each time. Students will be assigned into specific rooms that will help them complete their work.
- Learning Center will be assigned by teachers as needed. Parents will be notified via phone call or email if their student has been assigned to LC since parent permission is needed to stay after school. If a certain day is inconvenient for your family, we can schedule them for a different day. If a student would like to stay for learning center they need parent permission ahead of time. We will not allow students to call home at 2:55 to tell you they want to stay that day.
- The teachers will have a spreadsheet of who is assigned to their LC and will be taking attendance at 3:00 pm. Do not go outside after school if you have Learning Center.
Questions? Email teachers as needed once your student has been assigned.
Learning Center is not needed for those students who are keeping up on their work!
NEW Drop off and Pick Up Procedures
22 weeks
Mr. Beydoun, our assistant principal, has set up a new drop-off and pick-up system.
The Dearborn Heights Campus entrance should be treated as a one-way street so students are not crossing in front of traffic. Please exit to Ann Arbor Trail by circling around to the second aisle and exiting with the rest of traffic, or exit out onto Warren.
All 6th grade parents should pull up to the first green door outside Mr. Segerstrom’s room for drop-off & pick-up.
All 7th grade parents should pull up to the second green door outside Ms. Gleason’s room for drop-off & pick-up.
All 8th grade parents should pull up to the third green door outside Ms. Bissonette’s room for drop-off & pick-up.
Please do not expect students to walk through traffic to come find your car, please pull up and get them when you see them waiting outside. Safety First!
Please do NOT stop the car directly in front of the school any more. If you are dropping off students of different grade levels, pull to any of the green doors.
*Remember, students may enter the building at 7:40 ONLY to get breakfast in the large cafeteria. The rest of the students are allowed in at 7:50 and class begins at 8:00.
We apologize for any inconvenience our system may cause, but the SAFETY of our students comes FIRST!
