Dear Hamtramck Families,
Thank you for partnering with Hamtramck Public Schools to ensure that your students receive the best education during these tough times. Per Governor Whitmer, school will be closed the remainder of the year, however at Hamtramck Public Schools, learning never stops! The following letter will outline our support measures while we are learning from home. As always, please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.
Kindergarten - 2nd Grade
Family: A family activity calendar will be sent home via ClassDojo. In this calendar, you will find activities, so you can keep your child engaged in learning during the time of school closure.
Study: In addition, students in this grade band will be using the Portfolio section of ClassDojo. ClassDojo Portfolios are digital student portfolios that allow your student to share their learning with their classroom teacher. Students will be uploading work to their Portfolio from home. Teachers will be able to see student work and give feedback daily.

- Tech Support Hotline: (313) 305-6976 (8am - 4pm)
Classroom Community: 3-5 Times a week, your child will receive a Google Meet link requesting his or her presence. During the prescribed time with a teacher, your son or daughter will be able to ask questions, receive extra support, check-in with other classmates, and build an understanding of the activities posted in ClassDojo.
At Hamtramck Public schools, it is our goal for students to develop strong skills and strategies that will be carried forward into their college and career years. We believe instruction starts at home, and parent support is the key to reaching this goal. As educational partners, we encourage you to communicate with your child’s teacher regarding your son or daughter’s progress.
We look forward to working with you!
Sincerely,
Colleen Stevens, Principal at Early Childhood Elementary
