Remote Learning Phase 2 April 5, 2020

Hello families. We will begin our Phase 2 of remote learning this week. Phase 2 is also accessible via the FUSD Digital Learning Hub. You can access the Hub via this link here (FUSD DIGITAL LEARNING HUB), or you may visit the district website and access it through there (District Home Page). When you are in the Hub you will see a list of grade levels on the right hand side of the screen. You may pick your child's grade level and you will get a set of lesson plans for the week. Lessons will be for all 4 content areas (math, reading, science, and social studies) as well as specials (art, music, and PE). There are also links for Bilingual/English Language Learners as well as our Specialized Education Program. Please do not feel overwhelmed by this. Just click on the link that you feel best suits your child's needs and that will be what your child will work on for the week

As you look at the lesson plans please keep in mind that they are written for a weeks worth of plans. You are not expected to do everything in one day. Pick and choose what you will do when. This is at your pace. Also keep in mind that you do not have to do everything! Your most important job is still to focus on staying healthy and finding your balance while your family is at home. If you do not finish everything that is in that weeks lesson, that is perfectly fine! You decide what is best for your family EVERY SINGLE DAY! We are simply providing the lessons to be used at your discretion. Give yourselves grace, this cannot look like regular school. It is not. It is emergency remote teaching and learning. 

Most of you have reached out and said you have access to internet and devices. Hopefully the online Hub works for you. If for some reason you experience any kind of troubles, please let me know. If this method does not work for you and you will need paper packets mailed to you, please let me know. If we do send paper packets to anyone upon request, they will not be returned to the school, the district, or myself. They will remain at home upon completion.

As far as grading goes, this is where we stand. All FUSD students will only be able to receive the grade they earned at the end of 3rd quarter for any standard, with the opportunity to do work to higher that grade. They will not be able to earn any mark lower than that 3rd quarter grade at the end of the semester. As of this week I am not going to ask for the work from the HUB be turned into me via email or any other way. Honestly, I am still trying to figure out how this will work for first graders and what I will even want to assess. When I figure this out (hopefully by the end of week) I will let you know how it will work. Thank you all for your patience.

If you have any questions about any of this please reach out and ask. I might know the answer and did not think of putting that information here. If I do not know I will 100% reach out to Principal Reasor and find out for you. 

If your kiddos need anything please reach out and let me know. I miss them everyday! Please tell them The Queen says "Hello" - they will understand what this means, and hopefully it will make them laugh. It has been our inside joke this year, courtesy of Liliana. Let them know I am hugging them super tight, and give them a big squeeze for me so they can feel it! Let them know I love them dearly! -Ms. Shaw
