Parents/Guardians,
Earlier this school year, our District was approved to use Flexible Instruction Days (FIDs) in the event of weather-related school closing. We have worked with the High School teachers and staff to create a plan for our FIDs. Please review the information below to help guide you and your child through a flexible instruction day.
- A FID is considered a school day, therefore, there are work/participation expectations.
- All assigned work needs to be completed and turned in within two school days after the FID. If work is not completed and turned in the student will receive an unlawful absence unless a note is received excusing the student for the day due to an illness, etc.
- The work assigned to students on the Flexible Instructional Day will be review work. Teachers will not be introducing new content on a FID. Students should be able to complete the work independently.
- The H.S. will follow its normally scheduled day with teachers being available to students during their scheduled time through Teams, Schoology or Google meet.
- Students need to complete the work assigned to them as indicated through Schoology, which all students are familiar with. Outside of the face-to-face interactions, they will have many of the same expectations for locating and completing the work.
The district will notify families and students well in advance if we are having a Flexible Instruction Day. This will allow teachers and staff to ensure students have the materials and work they need to be successful on a FID.
If you have any questions about a Flexible Instruction Day, please reach out to your child’s teacher or me.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Strausburg
