Dear Lees Corner Families,
Due to the issues that some schools had with Blackboard Collaborate yesterday, changes must be made immediately in how students access their courses. In order to give teachers time to make these changes, all FCPS Distance Learning will begin two hours late today, April 15th.
This means that all teacher-led instruction will begin two hours late TODAY and all teacher office hours will be adjusted on April 15th. We will resume our regular instructional schedule and teacher office hours on Thursday, April 16th.
Please see below for the new times for today, Wednesday, April 15th:
