Dear Beech Tree Families,
Last night, you received a message from Superintendent Scott Brabrand. In the message, he stated:
“Our amazing teachers, school-based technology specialists, and other support staff will continue to provide creative instructional opportunities to students through a variety of other tools such as Google Classroom, pre-recorded videos, learning packets, eBooks, and other approved digital resources as well as directing students to programming on Channels 21, 25, and 99. Whether it’s mailing a letter, recording a read-aloud, or calling students at home, our teachers have gone above and beyond to show they care and these interactions will continue. We will also provide “face to face” instruction to our students as schools begin the transition away from the Blackboard Learn 24/7 system. Schools will be preparing to provide virtual instruction through a secure Blackboard Collaborate Ultra link or through other alternative means. Teachers will contact students over the next several days about virtual learning opportunities and the platform that will be used. For tomorrow, and until our schools have communicated their plan for teacher-led instruction, our teachers will not be providing face to face instruction. Instead, our teachers will continue to provide other learning opportunities via a variety of platforms.”
Beech Tree staff have worked hard over the last few weeks, adapting to needs and expectations. I trust them to use their professional judgement and collaboration to reach out to you to provide a variety of instructional opportunities this week, as we are provided guidance this week. Additionally, “Elementary Continuity of Learning Resources,” may be accessed here:https://www.fcps.edu/academics/distance-learning/instruction/continuity-learning-resources/elementary-school
As always, I thank you for your trust, your patience, your understanding, and most of all, for your support. We are one, strong, and united #BeechTreeFamily!
