Ms. Burt, Ms. Fernandez and Ms. Berry’s classes participated in 10 different Force activities (balloon rockets, marshmallow launchers, and much more).  Students rotated through the stations.

Fourth Graders in Ms. Currie’s class were challenged to design and build a ping-pong ball launcher.  They tested their completed designs launching the ping-pong ball and measuring the distance.  The winning design launched a ball over 1,000 centimeters!

Fifth Graders from Ms. Ferrante’s class joined second and third graders in Ms. Berry’s class for a STEM activity, the Great Pumpkin Caper.  Students worked collaboratively weighing, measuring, counting seeds and more!

William Ford joined Fordson High School students and students from other feeder schools in their Homecoming Parade on Friday, October 13th.  Thanks to those who participated and cheered us on!

Ensuring the safety of all students is a paramount objective of both the Dearborn Public Schools and the Dearborn Police Department. An area of common complaints and concern is traffic related issues in school zones during student drop off and pick up. Motorists often create unsafe conditions for students by blocking roadways, speeding, and improper parking. As in previous years, the Dearborn Police Department will be conducting directed traffic enforcement in the school zones.  Please be careful and obey all traffic laws.  This includes double parking, blocking driveways, failure to completely stop at a stop sign, failure to yield to a bus or pedestrians, disobey a school crossing guard, and other traffic infractions.

Please keep in mind:

• The bus stop is for buses only
• Walk children to school when possible
• Drop off/pick up children a short distance away from school when possible.  This alleviates traffic congestion around our schools
• Once your child is out of the car and safely on the sidewalk vacate the area to make room for other parents to drop off their children.
• Be mindful of school staff and crossing guards.  They are there for your child’s safety.
• Be a “Good Neighbor” by being mindful of residents who live near school zones.
