What's Happening at Mount Eagle
February 12, 2021
Return to School Updates
Students whose families chose in-person learning will begin returning to Mount Eagle for two full-days of instruction on Tuesdays & Wednesday. Here is the schedule:
Tuesday, February 23: Head Start & Kindergarten begin
Tuesday, March 9: Grades 1 & 2 begin
Tuesday, March 16: Grades 3-6 begin
We chose in-person for our child. What days & time will my child be at school?
We will have students in the building on Tuesdays & Wednesdays from 9:00-3:30pm. (see above for specific return date) If your child is a bus rider, expect that they will be picked up sometime between 8:30-8:40am. We'll have a more exact bus stop time closer to your. On Thursdays & Fridays, your child will be at home and having school online.
Your child will have the same teacher.
My child will remain virtual. What changes will there be to the schedule?
All students who are virtual will have their same schedule with the same teacher Tuesday - Friday. Your child will have the same teacher. On Tuesdays & Wednesdays, some lessons will be concurrent, meaning students who are in the classroom will be interacting with students who are at home online.
I've read that the bell schedule will change beginning Tuesday, February 16. What does this mean?
Some schools in FCPS will change to a new start time in order to coordinate with bus schedules. At Mount Eagle, we made the adjustment at the start of the school year, so there will be no change. Morning meeting and attendance will still begin at 9:00am, and school ends at 3:30pm for all students whether they are in person or online. On March 9, there will be an adjustment to the online schedule, and we'll share that closer to that date.
My child will be in-person, and I have questions. Where can I get more information?
We will hold two parent meetings next week for families who have selected in-person for their child:
Wednesday, February 17 7:00-7:45pm English
Thursday, February 18 7:00-7:45pm Spanish
Here is the Blackboard link:

(Head Start & K families--please ignore the Google Meet link I sent in the letter earlier this week. We will all use the BBCU link above.)
Can I make a change to in-person or to virtual?
If you would like to change to virtual, you may do so. Please note that this change is for the rest of the school year. If you would like to change to in-person, it will be approved only if there is space. Please contact the office if you would like to be considered for this change.
Thank you for your flexibility and patience. Whether your child is in-person or virtual, our team is committed to bringing excellent teaching and learning experiences to your child.
