The return to in-person learning is only for those students who chose to be in-person.  Those students who selected virtual learning for the year will remain online four days per week.  Mondays will remain an asynchronous learning day for all students. All students must sign in on the Google Form to get credit for attendance, and they can continue to access their assignments in Google Classroom or Blackboard 24/7.

 

We started a new bell schedule on February 16th.  This schedule adjustment was made at all high schools in FCPS.  The bell schedule will change again on March 2nd when we add a 2nd lunch to support social distancing in the cafeteria.

Concurrent Instruction

Beginning March 2nd, our classes will be conducted using concurrent instruction in which in-person students receive two days of teacher-led instruction in the school building and two days of teacher-led instruction at home.   Virtual students and in-person students will be in the same class.  More information about concurrent instruction can be found at this link.  Again, virtual students will remain online four days per week.

 

In some instances, the teacher will remain virtual for the remainder of the year.  In this case, Classroom Monitors have been hired to provide in-person classroom assistance for students the days they are in the building.  The teacher will continue to lead the class and handle all teaching responsibilities including grading.  The monitor will assist the teacher and provide in-person guidance and supervision.    

 

Health & Safety

We will all be focused on staying safe during in-person learning.  It is critical that students adhere to safety protocols.  We will provide safety and mitigation strategy information and reminders to students through a video overview when they return.  More information about health and safety can also be found here.  The Health Screening Commitment Form is also available in ParentVue.  We will continually revisit and remind students about the key mitigation strategies so that we can stop the spread of the virus.

 

It is important that parents of in-person students complete the  Parent/Guardian Health Screening Commitment form (scroll to the bottom of the page for the form) and conduct the health screening questions each day.  If students are ill, need to quarantine, or have any COVID like symptoms, they should stay home.  In these instances, students can access the virtual class from home if they are able.  Parents should report any absences to the attendance line.

 

Lunches

Grab and go lunches will be available free of charge each day in the cafeteria.  We will have two 30-minute lunch shifts with 10 - 15 students in each lunch.  Students will be socially distanced in the cafeteria and can remove their mask while eating.  Students will be able to talk casually with the students seated near them; however, they will not be able to travel about the cafeteria during lunch like usual.

 

Orientation

We will be conducting orientation type activities for in-person students during the week they return.  Some of the orientation information shared will also be important for virtual students, so they will receive the information as well.  

 

Transportation

Bus routes are being developed and more information will be shared when routes are completed and available for students and parents to view in your SIS account.

 

Thank you for your ongoing collaboration.  We will continue to share updates.  Don’t hesitate to reach out to the main office or the administration with any questions.

 

Sincerely,

 

Tom Lundy

Principal
