Robinson SS Distance Learning Plan
If you need assistance with distance learning, please use this list of contacts to reach the correct person. We have also included this tip sheet for parents to support students on this journey. Distance learning begins on Tuesday, April 14.
FCPS Updates
The FCPS Distance Learning Plan provides detailed information about what to expect.
Distance Learning Packets are being mailed to students in grades PreK-8. Don’t need to receive packets in the mail? Please consider opting out to go paperless. We acknowledge that distance learning cannot reasonably replace daily in-person instructional programs, and we will not be trying to replicate the regular school day.
At all grade levels, teachers will provide specific information about the learning calendar for each class, and they are available if your child needs help. Whenever possible, families and caregivers are encouraged to support your child with the transition to distance learning and guide them to any support they may need.
If your student needs a laptop to complete distance learning assignments, please contact your principal.
We are excited to have you onboard with us as we embark on our Distance Learning journey. Information on technical support is available online.
