Important Dates

  • 4/20-4/24 - E-Spirit Week! (see announcement below)
  • 4/24 - Due date for 3rd Quarter makeup work

Jaguar Community,

Friday evening, you received a message from FCPS sharing the following information:

  • Blackboard was temporarily shut down for upgrades
  • FCPS is hopeful that Blackboard will be up and operating to accommodate all students on Monday
  • The goal is to have all of our students following their virtual schedule on Tuesday, April 21
  • If it becomes clear that the upgrades did not fix the problem, teachers will be ready to teach asynchronously - meaning students will be able to access lessons through Google Classroom or some other means for the week while additional adjustments are made. 
  • Lastly, students should make Chrome their default browser 
    • Here is a video on how to do that.
    • Launch Chrome.
    • Paste the following into the URL window: chrome://settings/defaultBrowser.
    • Click Make Default.
    • If prompted to choose an app, click Google Chrome and close the window.

Our teachers at FCHS are ready to engage in virtual teaching and learning with students.  Teachers have been working hard to finish up 3rd quarter work and start new lessons for the 4th quarter.  We are ready and remain hopeful and excited to see students virtually on Tuesday.

I will update you on Monday should an alternative plan be needed.

Please help us by reviewing the infographic below with your child prior to Tuesday.

Thank you for your continued patience, flexibility and support.
