Dear FCUSD Community:
We appreciate our community and the many questions you have as we make next step plans for the 2020-21 school year. Updated information has been added to our Frequently Asked Questions page. You will notice that today’s additions are in purple font, so you are able to identify new updates. Please visit our website at:
Please check back regularly for updates
Parents of special education students: Special Education will begin notifying families today, October 14, regarding special education cohorts. Special Education will be opening approximately 60 cohorts across the District beginning October 19. Not all cohorts will be opening the week of October 19. As we finalize staffing, we will keep our special education families notified. Transportation will begin the week of October 26.
If your child has been assigned to a cohort opening on October 19, you will hear from your child’s school. If your child is assigned to a cohort that is not opening on October 19, parents will be notified by the Special Education Office, and these students will continue on Distance Learning until we are able to open additional cohorts.
Parents of elementary students: Information regarding school reopening on November 9 will be presented tomorrow evening, Thursday, October 15 from 6:15 - 7:30.
Families are invited to watch a live YouTube broadcast and participate in a Thoughtexchange opportunity to submit questions that will be answered by District leadership during the event.
Please note: While all are invited to view and participate tomorrow evening, the information and questions answered will be specific to the upcoming reopening of elementary campuses.

FCUSD Staff Health and Safety Q&A information night: Last night FCUSD staff was invited to a live forum in which local physicians presented information and answered staff questions, regarding current medical information as it pertains to school reopening and COVID risk mitigation.
We want to thank Dr. Babb and Dr. Cafarella, both of whom are parents of children in our school district, along with Dr. Kasirye and Dr. Owen, from Sacramento County Public Health, for their generous gift of time and sharing of their expertise.

While the panel answered as many questions as time allowed, only the top highest-rated questions were addressed. However, we are currently working with our medical experts to provide answers and responses to the top 75 questions and will share as soon as we are able.
As we gather more data from our staff and families, we will continue to keep you closely informed and updated. We appreciate your partnership and we are dedicated to providing the highest quality and safest educational offerings for all students in our FCUSD community.
Thank you
