     Our Eagles our SOARing above the storm!!!! A Note From Mr. Witherspoon: The Cleveland Elementary community is one that is strong and continues to show that it's number one priority is it's children. The grit that we all have shown since we made the shift to the virtual world had been nothing short of amazing. We are so appreciative of all the hard work that each family member has done to support our Eagles during this time. So, whether you are part of the Livonia Virtual Program or Face-2-Face/Remote learning, the work that you are putting in is paying off. The desire to succeed, determination to not give up, and the dedication to do whatever it takes for our children is something that we truly value as a part of this community. Please take some time to recharge the batteries over the Thanksgiving break (maybe watch the Lions win...ok, or just watch the game)!

              The Eagles are SOARing higher!!!! A Note From Mr. Witherspoon: Livonia Public Schools has made the decision to return all educational levels to remote instruction beginning on Tuesday, November 17.

             The Eagles are SOARing higher!!!! A Note From Mr. Witherspoon: I am hoping that you have been able to take advantage of the incredible weather outside that we have had lately!  Several classrooms have taken advantage of the nice weather as they moved their learning to outdoors!  This may be difficult for Livonia Virtual Students to do for their live instruction; however, don't hesitate to find a space outside that they could work.  The fresh air is good for everyone!   Livonia Public Schools has sent out two communications regarding those families that would like to change their current learning placement (ie. Face-2-Face vs. Livonia Virtual).  There is no need to complete this form if you want to stay with the current classroom/teacher/style of instruction that your child has now; only complete the form if you want to change placement. There are some very important details that come with changing, so please read the form carefully as you fill it out.    The end of
