Laptop Distribution

We are thrilled to begin the process of ensuring that every eagle has access to technology. In the effort to distribute laptops to every student below are the designated days for grade levels. We will begin the week of August 24th. Our laptops are currently being updated and reimaged to prepare for the new school year.  Families will be coming in the day of the oldest student except kindergarten. The office will be contacting families to provide assigned time slot.  If you cannot make your assigned date/time there will be a make up session.

Monday,  August 24  - 6th grade

Tuesday, August 25 - 5th grade

Wednesday,  August 26 - 4th and 1st

Thursday, August 27 - 3rd and 1st

Friday,  August 28  - 2nd grade and Preschool

Monday,  August 31 - Kindergarten

 

Process:

Please arrive at your designated time slot. All students must wear a face covering and follow social distancing. (I don’t know if we want to wait to include this piece maybe in a Monday NYC? I am still unclear about what paper forms we will have or digitized things we want to include during this time)

  1. Drive up to the main entrance. You will be asked health screener questions by a staff member. A staff member may ask you fill out paperwork as you wait.  Family members must remain in the vehicle.
  2. Student will then exit the vehicle and walk to the desk and log in with their username and password  that they used last year and access the school network.
  3. Student will receive computer, sanitize and then return to the vehicle. We will also supply every student with a bag of manipulatives and graphic organizers to be used during instruction.

If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Opie elopie@fcps.edu


Open House

We are so excited to welcome all families back! This year open house will be virtual. Teachers can’t wait to connect with families and will be reaching out in the upcoming weeks. They will share further details and schedule individual slots to meet and greet each one of their students and families. In addition, there will be a session for students to join a Principal's Open House.
