Dearborn Public Schools families are reminded that the meal distribution schedule will have a few changes starting the week of May 18 – the week before Memorial Day.
Because schools were scheduled to be closed on Friday and Monday for Memorial Day weekend, there will be no food distribution on May 22 and 25.
Meal distributions will still occur on Monday May 18 and on Wednesday May 20. The May 20 distribution will include breakfasts and lunches for a full week, so families should be prepared to carry the larger quantity, including a half gallon of milk per student.
Through May 20 pickup times will continue to be later at four locations. Fordson High School, Woodworth Middle School, Salina Intermediate and McCollough Elementary will distribute meals from noon to 2 p.m.
Dearborn High School, Edsel Ford High School and Smith Middle School will hand out meals from 10 a.m. to noon.
The week after Memorial Day, meal distribution will go back to 10 a.m. to noon at all seven locations. Meals that week will be distributed on Wednesday, May 27 and Friday, May 29.
Meal distribution schedule:
May 11, 13, 15, 18 and 20

Several Stout students shared messages with teachers last week expressing their gratitude. A link to the video is included below.
Dear Students and Families,
This weekend, a new schedule for live instruction was shared with students via email. Not all teachers will be utilizing live meetings for remote learning. Some will continue to do recorded lessons that students may watch on their own time. Those that do utilize live instruction through iLearn and Big Blue Button, will follow the schedules shared below. It is critical that every student checks all of their teachers blogs to stay informed as to how their teacher will provide instruction moving forward. All students will continue to have weekly assignments that they must complete in order to receive credit. We have included links to all teacher blogs, Google classrooms, and iLearn classes to help students navigate the most up-to-date information.
Mr. Oke and Mrs. Faraj
6th Grade Schedule for Live Instruction
Dear Parents,
We will be distributing Chromebooks again on April 27th, 2020 from 1pm to 3pm at Stout Middle School. This will be a drive-through set up at the front of the building in the circular driveway. Parents/students do not have to exit their vehicle. Chromebooks will be distributed in disinfected plastic bags and parents will be asked to complete a form.
ALL Stout students are eligible to pick up a Chromebook. This means that even if you have multiple students at Stout, you may still pick up an additional Chromebook if you need one.
All students received an email asking them to “reserve” a Chrome book by completing this form: Chrome Book Reservation Form
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to email Mr. Oke or Ms. Faraj.
Thank you!
