PRINCIPAL DAUGHERTY

Dear Beech Tree Families,

Our Beech Tree PTA hosted a Beech Tree Family Meeting last Monday via Zoom to further discuss the two options for student learning for 2020-2021. The deadline for selecting one of the two options of hybrid or virtual ended on Wednesday, July 15th. The results for Beech Tree are as follows:

Online: 183 (52%)      

In-Person: 138 (39%)

In-Person by Default (due to no parent response): 31 (9%)

The results for all of FCPS are available at this site: https://www.fcps.edu/enroll2020

All FCPS principals must now create classes based on both online and in-person selections. Then, we need to divide teacher requests to teach virtually by four tiers to meet the merits of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), balancing the need to be transparent with our staff and community, with the confidentiality and integrity these requests deserve and are entitled to.

I will continue to do my best to communicate openly and honestly with you. I ask for your continued support and patience as I navigate these highly unknown waters.

Please continue to encourage your children to visit our Summer Learning Teachers during their office hours. They really enjoy connecting with our Beech Tree Beavers and are happy to talk to your child about ALL their Summer Learning Experiences:
