Family Check-Ins
It is our goal that every student is engaged every day, just as they would be if they are in school. They may be attending sessions online or on the phone with their teachers, but an additional staff member will also make contact once or twice a week. This is to ensure our parents have their questions answered, feel supported and are not in need of additional resources the school can provide.
The calls will generally come from a 313 or 248 phone number. The staff member will always identify who they are and their role at the school.
