Geer Park Elementary School

Student Expectations and Grading…

Dear Students and Parents,

We hope that you and your families are doing well. Everyone at Geer Park misses you. We look forward to the day that we can all be together again at school. Until then, please stay safe, stay healthy and stay home.

In the meantime, please remember to check your teacher’s iblog site, google classroom, ilearn site, etc. for daily and weekly assignments. As you know, last Friday, “Dearborn’s Remote Learning Plan was approved by the state of Michigan.” The new plan started on April 20th. Please continue to do your daily assignments and communicate with your teachers.

We have included the following documents (above) for your review:

  1. Student-Continuity-of-Learning Expectations
  2. Parent-Continuity-of-Learning Expectations
  3. Dearborn-Parent_Student-Grading (During the -Continuity-of-Learning period)

Students will be graded on the work that they complete. The criteria is listed below.

For the current (4th) marking period:

    • Accuracy of work assessed on standards/graded/recorded in MiStar
    • High participation

Again, students, please review all of this information, continue to check your teacher’s iblog site and emails, daily.

….and remember, communicate with your teacher if you have any questions.

P.S. – Parents, If your family is facing any difficulties at this time, please notify your child’s teacher.
