Reminder

Distance Learning resumes through Blackboard on Monday, April 20

Students will no longer be using the Guest Access link to enter their Virtual Classrooms. Their Virtual Classrooms will have moved inside the Blackboard FCPS 24-7 platform

  • How do students access the room? They will use their student username and password to login to Blackboard and enter their Class Course. Parents will not have access to the Blackboard Collaborate Tool. Therefore, only students should login and follow these directions.
  • Once in their Class Course, students click on the “Collaborate Ultra” link within the navigation bar.
  • Finally, students should enter their Teacher’s Virtual Classroom session by clicking on the session name. Because students are logged in to Blackboard, the student’s username will appear in the attendee panel

Here is also a helpful video reviewing these login steps

 

The Crossfield general education teacher schedule is below:

  • Preschool: 9:30am [teachers will contact parents regarding days]
  • Kindergarten: 8:30am-9:30am
  • First Grade: 1:15pm-2:15pm
  • Second Grade: 10:00am-11:00 am

Week 4

Week 5 - 1

 

Looks like many of our Crossfield Rockets have been getting outside enjoying this incredible spring we've been having. The chalk artwork is surely bringing a smile to all those walking and driving by! Those pancakes look delicious-do you do take out orders!! Look at some of our Rockets making protective face masks, and we even have siblings reading bedtime stories to each other. We are all keeping busy, learning new things, enjoying nature and helping others. Way to go, Crossfield!!

Please keep those pictures coming to Mrs. Fant at bdfant@fcps.edu
