2020-2021 Fairfax Villa
Instructional Schedule
Dear Fairfax Villa Families and Friends,
As we prepare for our first day of school for the 2020-21 school year, we want to share our grade level virtual schedules. The schedules presented today are draft schedules and are subject to change. We have been focused on developing a robust and adaptive instructional schedule that meets the needs of all students and programs. We would like to highlight a few considerations and guidelines that were utilized to develop these schedules.
- All FCPS elementary schools are providing consistent instructional minutes for the content areas.
- Our schedules closely align with a typical school day and schedule. Our students will experience a similar instructional day as they would in our in-person learning environment. As noted in a previous update, our bell schedule will be 9:10 AM to 4:00 PM.
- We understand the concerns around screen time and we have been intentional in our decision-making with content areas, breaks, specials, and asynchronous learning.
- The week will include 4 days of live, face-to-face (synchronous) online instruction with teachers Tuesday through Friday. Mondays will be used for independent learning (asynchronous) and/or individualized instruction.
- Daily schedules for Tuesday through Friday are based on a full day of school to include: Morning Meeting, Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies, Specials, Specialized/Individualized Instruction, screen time breaks, lunch, and asynchronous/independent learning activities.
- To support our families’ schedules, our lunch time and family choice activity block is the same time across all grade levels.
The first day of school is scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, 2020. Please see below for our instructional schedule.
 If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s schedule, please contact Mr. Gerstner or Ms. An.
Our very best,
Dave Gerstner, Principal
KJ An, Assistant Principal
Barbara Schmidt, School Based Technology Specialist
