Greetings Families,
I hope summer break is off to a good start and everyone is safe and healthy.
You will receive an email today from Dr. Brabrand outlining the options for your child for next year. The deadline for your response is July 10, 2020.
I understand the frustration of wanting to have more details to make this decision and yet so many of the answers to those questions depends on the number of students enrolled in each option. I want to share the most accurate information that might help you in making your decision. Please know that my role is simply to help you make an informed decision, and not lead you to make a choice that doesn’t match the needs of your child. Here are a few quick points of information about the options.
- If you chose the online option, our teachers will provide instruction Tuesday – Friday, and we will provide independent assignments for Mondays. Unlike during the crisis teaching last spring, attendance will be mandatory, and teachers will grade assignments as they do when we are in person. You can see more details here.
- If you chose the in-person option, students will be in class with teachers two days per week, and we will provide independent assignments for the other days. You can see details about the plan for social distancing and other details here.
We don’t have details about specials classes, recess, and lunch just yet, but I will share these with you as they become available.
Please note that you will need the student ID number for your child, and either the enrolling parent’s email address or the enrolling parent’s phone number when you register. You can find the ID number near your child’s name on the progress report you should have received last week.
Finally, I have two additional links that might help:
FCPS Return to School Frequently Asked Questions
CDC Guidelines for Schools
I know that this is a tough choice, especially with a rapidly evolving situation with the COVID-19 virus. While I can’t predict where we will be in August, I can tell you that the Daniels Run team will work hard to make this work for our children, staff, and families.
I know there are many questions and I am happy to connect with you but I don't have any additional information to share beyond the above resources. I will be on leave the rest of this week but feel free to email me (cmsmith@fcps.edu) with questions and I will answer them when I return next week.
Thanks for your support,
Chris Smith
Daniels Run Principal
