Good evening Freedom Hill families,
On Sunday, families received a message including a link to update their preference for location of learning for their Freedom Hill child(ren). We are asking parents to use the link if they desire to change their choice. Options are 2x per week in-person instruction with 2x per week virtual instruction (Groups A/B in the picture above) or all-virtual instruction (Group C above). In some situations, students from all three groups will be attending class together through the concurrent model.
We recognize many of you have questions that impact your decision. We invite you to a Q&A information session on Thursday, 11/29. You can access the meeting by clicking on this BBCU link at the following times:
English Session: 11-11:30
Spanish Session: 11:30-12:00
We hope to answer questions you have about what the concurrent model will look like and the health and safety protocols we will be using. Please know that there will be questions we will not be able to answer, but we aim to be as transparent as possible during this time.
The meeting will be recorded for any parent unable to join us live. Thank you for your partnership and support ~ Dr. Z.
The FCPS Family Guide for Return to School has a wealth of information on topics like concurrent instruction, lunch, the mandatory mask policy, recess, laptops, health protocols, and more.
Return to School Options
All families continue to have the option to remain virtual for the remainder of the school year. Freedom Hill staff will be using your preference from the summer unless you update your choice on or before October 30, 2020. Once your selection is made, you should expect to commit to that format for the duration of the school year in order to prevent further classroom assignment/teacher changes for our children.
Teacher Selection
We are not able to share which teachers will be in person and which teachers will be virtual. The reason for this is that the number of teachers in each setting is determined by family selection. We will make every effort to keep children with their current teacher if they are in the same environment.
Health Metrics and Contract Tracing
Freedom Hill is committed to the safety of our students, staff, and community. We will strictly follow all FHD and FCPS health guidelines and protocols. This includes, but is not limited to, 6ft social distance where possible, hand washing, limiting contact, temperature checks, and proper use of PPE. If you have questions, the Return to School Health and Safety Guidance document may support you.
