Shrevewood Wise Words

Dear Shrevewood Families,

I want to thank everyone for replying to our email from last week to confirm or revise your choices for your child’s educational program (continuing with 100% online or moving to in-person instruction 2 days a week).  It was important to hear from you, even if you maintained your decision from this summer. 

Families who chose the in-person option with children in our Pre-K program and in Kindergarten will receive an email from us Monday, November 9 identifying the days your child will be attending in-person (Tues/Wed or Thurs./Fri). Families who chose the in-person option with children in grades 1 and 2 will receive an email from us Monday, November 16.

 As a reminder, FCPS is planning to bring students back to in-person school on the dates below (all dates subject to change):

Week of Nov. 16    Pre-K & Kindergarten

Week of Nov. 30    1st & 2nd Grades

Week of Jan. 4        3rd-6th Grades

In advance of the return dates, teachers will be provided time to plan for the change.  Starting Monday, November 9 Preschool-Second grade teachers will be planning every Monday. Asynchronous work will be assigned but live lessons will not occur. Additional asynchronous dates are listed below. At this time, grade 3-6 will continue with their same schedules.

Pre-K & Kindergarten

November 9, 12, 13

  • All students will be learning asynchronously 
  •  Teachers will be planning and setting up classrooms  

1st & 2nd Grades

November 16, 20, 23, 24

  • All students will be learning asynchronously

Thank you for your patience and support!

Joshua DeSmyter
