Distance Learning Updates

https://www.fcusd.org/2020-21schoolyear

Monday Common Planning Time Beginning September 21^st:

Mondays will continue to be a full school day with some modifications. While the all-class synchronous meeting time is 20 minutes, the expectation is for instructional engagement the entire school day. This includes asynchronous lessons/activities, teacher collaboration time in order to develop lessons that that are customized for online instruction, as well as professional development and training.

This change in schedule was created in order to allow our teachers more flexibility in providing instruction, support direct student outreach and lesson preparation. Teachers may also create opportunities for individualized, small group and whole group instruction. Each teacher’s schedule may vary depending on grade level, program, and a balance of student and teacher needs. We appreciate your continued support as we work together to enhance our Distance Learning format. 

Each teacher will be communicating with their families as to the class schedule modifications.
