Dear Shrevewood Families,

Happy Winter Break!  We wanted to give you a couple updates heading into the break about the phase-in plan Return to School Plan for FCPS. Monday, January 4th will be an asynchronous day for all grade levels, so that our teachers will have time to prep their classrooms for return in-person dates. Students should log into their virtual classroom for morning meeting and the rest of the day will be asynchronous learning.  We will be switching to the new bell schedules on January 12th even if our Return to School dates are adjusted.  Our new bell schedule for the school day will be from 9:45-4:15.  This change is foundational to our future plans for return to school. FCPS will be monitoring conditions over the winter break and will provide updates when we return in January. 

Thank you all for your support and partnership during this school year. We appreciate your feedback and collaboration as we navigate this year together. Ms. Holley and I would like to wish you all a happy holiday and we are hoping that 2021 will bring positivity and prosperity to our entire Shrevewood community.

We will see you all in 2021!

Joshua DeSmyter
