STOUT MIDDLE SCHOOL

Congratulations to Fusion Cheer! With at score of 407.83, their highest of the season, Fusion Cheer took first place overall in today’s Warren Woods Tower competition!

Just one year ago, Stout and Smith Middle Schools joined together and created Dearborn’s first middle school competitive cheer team – Fusion Cheer. After a great first season, Fusion Cheer has been working hard this season. In just their second season, facing challenges that included virtual practices due to Covid, the team has remained focused and dedicated, taking their performance to a higher level! Fusion cheer has had an amazing 2020-2021 season so far, taking 1st place in four out of five competitions. With one more competition to go, they are looking to keep the winning streak going. Congratulations to these AMAZING athletes!

Students & Parents in the Virtual Learning Program,

On Wednesday, March 10th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade teachers will be distributing the second book in our math series to students in the Virtual Learning Program who have not already pick this book up. Math teachers will be in the front circle drive at Stout from 1:00 pm until 3:00 pm to pass out math books. Parents will need to know their student’s grade when they pull up to the covered walkway in front of the school. Parents can stay in their car and a teacher will hand them the book through the car window. We ask that parents wear a mask when picking up their child’s book and any other time they visit the building. Students who are or will be attending school in-person will get their new math book when they come to school.

We appreciate you coming to school next Wednesday to pick up your book.

Thank you,

Stout Math Teachers

Parents who would like their child to learn online for the remainder of the school year have until Wednesday, February 24th to opt into the Virtual Learning Program. If you are making this choice for your child, please know that they will continue to learn online for the remainder of the school year and will not be able to return to in-person learning until the 2021-2022 school year. Please complete this form to insure placement into the Virtual Learning Program and contact the office to let us know about your decision.

Parents who originally opted into the Virtual Learning Program during the previous two enrollment windows received an email confirming their selection several weeks ago.

Stout Middle School Semester 2 Schedule

BLOG POST (ARABIC)

Monday, January 25th, is the first day of the second semester. Many students will be getting new elective classes. Students whose families opted in or out of the Virtual Learning Program since the beginning of the year may also have different schedules this semester. Student schedules are available to view in both Student & Parent Connect.

A major change that you will notice is that Advisory classes have been moved from the middle of the school day to the beginning of the school day. Advisory classes will now appear as “Zero Hour”. The other hours have been adjusted to fill the space where Advisory class used to be.

Monday, January 25th, and Tuesday, January, 26th, are both half-days. The schedule to both days is linked below.

HALF-DAY SCHEDULE: 1/25 & 1/26

Stout Families,

Tomorrow, Friday, January 22, 2021, is a half-day of school. Please refer to the following schedule for tomorrow ONLY. 
Friday, January 22nd Half Day Schedule

Monday, January 25th, and Tuesday, January 26th are also half-days of school for students. We will be sharing a DIFFERENT schedule for Monday and Tuesday at the end of the day tomorrow so as not to confuse students. 

Stout Community,

Please see the letter linked below regarding a confirmed case of coronavirus (COVID-19). The positive individual was not in the building while students were present. This letter is informational and no further action is needed from you.
