Free Covid testing, student vaccinations at Edsel Ford High
Dearborn Public Schools is again hosting a free community COVID testing site at Edsel Ford High School on Saturday and is inviting more students to receive a COVID vaccine on Friday.
Residents can receive a free COVID rapid test on Saturday, May 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is being run by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
Anyone in the area interested in receiving a COVID test is encouraged to use the site, especially those people who do not have symptoms. Please note, a negative COVID test does not lessen any quarantine requirements. Those who are considered a close contact for someone with COVID will need to quarantine according to the guidelines provided by their health department.
The district is also inviting students 16 and 17 year olds in the community to sign up for a Pfizer vaccination at a traveling clinic on Friday, April 30 at Edsel Ford High School. Appointments are available from 8 am. until 2:40 p.m. by following this appointment link. The clinic is being hosted by Henry Ford Health System. Dearborn Public Schools worked with Henry Ford Health to arrange the clinic, and the site still has open slots for Friday. The second dose will be administered on May 21 at the school. Students younger than 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
“We know our students do not live in a vacuum. COVID is an issue facing the entire world, and the disease has hit Dearborn especially hard,” said Superintendent Glenn Maleyko. “We are glad to do our part to help control COVID’s spread by offering our facilities for testing and vaccinations.”
At the Saturday, May 1 screening, rapid tests will be provided. Appointments are requested and will result in faster service, but walk-ins are also accepted. Face masks must be properly worn while on school property.
Edsel Ford High School is at 20601 Rotunda Dr., Dearborn, MI. Testing will be conducted outdoors. Those coming for testing should enter the student parking lot at the stoplight on Rotunda.
To register and schedule a test appointment, visit http://honumg.info/EdselFordHS. The online form will also collect contact information and other details that will be needed before the testing. Any one who receives a positive result on the rapid test, will be invited back for a more accurate PCR test.
Dear River Oaks Community,
Please see the attached letter regarding a COVID positive case. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Kindergarten Registration
River Oaks Elementary is currently registering Kindergarten students for the 2021 -2022 school year.
To enroll in kindergarten, students must be five years old by September 1 and live within the Dearborn Public School District. Waivers are available for students who will turn five after September 1 but before December 1. For parents already living in the district, the waivers need to be submitted by June 1. See the district website at https://dearbornschools.org/enroll for the waiver and more information.
Dearborn Public Schools also offers a free Young Fives program for students who will turn five between June 15 and December 1 this year. That all-day program is offered at select schools and follows the kindergarten curriculum. The extra year allows those children to better develop the academic and emotional skills they need to succeed in school. The following year they would enroll in kindergarten at their neighborhood school.
Space is limited for Young Fives, so interested parents should check for availability at the school they are interested in attending. Young Fives is held at DuVall, Henry Ford, William Ford, Geer Park, Haigh, Lindbergh, Maples, McCollough, River Oaks, Salina, Snow, and Whitmore-Bolles elementary schools. For more information, contact Student Services at (313) 827-3005. Busing is available only if the student will attend their home elementary and lives in an area where busing is provided. In most cases, parents will need to provide transportation for their child.
Please call the school at 313-827-6750 to make an appointment to register your child.
