For Avenger Students and Families - August 16, 2020
A Message to our Students and Families
The first two days back at school were amazing and it was great to see our students again! I am very impressed with our students and staff and how well everyone did with our school guidelines including wearing their masks. We appreciate your support as we hope to continue face to face learning. In order to achieve this goal, we need to follow the guidelines established by FCS.
Parents and guardians, we also need your help. We have always asked that you not send your sick student to school. This request is now more important than ever. Please do not send your students to school if they are symptomatic, awaiting COVID-19 test results, or if anyone in your home has tested positive for COVID-19. Staff and families are asked to do daily temperature checks prior to leaving for school/work.
If you have any questions or concerns, you are welcome to contact Mr. Jim Parrish (jparrish@forsyth.k12.ga.us) or me (bcannizzaro@forsyth.k12.ga.us).
We will continue to remind our students to wear their mask, wash hands, stay apart and stay safe and healthy. Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Brandi Cannizzaro
Schedules
Deadline to Log in to FVA courses: If you are taking any course on Forsyth Virtual Academy, you must log in by midnight on Monday Aug. 17th. Students who have not logged into FVA courses by Tuesday Aug. 18 run the risk of being dropped from the course. If you are not seeing an FVA course on your itslearning page by Monday morning, please email your counselor.
FVA Schedules: All FVA courses are asynchronous, which means that students are not required to log in at any specific time for class. For FVA classes, students must log in regularly and submit all assignments on time. Teachers will post lessons, assignments and assessments, and it is the student's responsibility to keep up with the work. Teachers will also hold office hours during the week so students can get extra help or clarification.
In-Person Learning Reminders:
Schedules:
We will continue the A/B block rotation throughout the 2020-21 school year. The rotation will be posted on the calendar on the AAI website. This year, 3rd period will meet every day and 4th period will be blocked A/B. Click HERE for the updated AAI Bell Schedule 2020-21.
Drop Off:
Parents may continue to drop off in front of school. This year we ask that you drop your student off NO EARLIER than 8:00 AM. Students dropped off between 8:00-8:30 AM will be asked to report to the cafeteria.
Pick Up:
We implemented our new pick up line plan last week and it went well. Please click here to see the AAI Car Rider Pickup Map 2020-21. Please note that parents may NOT enter campus through the middle entrance as this is for buses only. You will be directed to turn around and enter through the third entrance closest to Pilgrim Mill.
Visitors:
Non essential visitors to the school building will be limited. Masks and temperature checks are required for any visitor to our school. Parents will NOT be allowed to drop off items for students with the exception of medication that is housed in our clinic. Please make sure your child has some funds in his/her lunch account.
Transportation for students who attend FVA Part Time:
Students who attend FVA part time and come to AAI for some of their classes must enter the building through the front doors only. Students who arrive more than 5 minutes before class starting will be asked to wait in the STEM gym until the bell rings.
Use of Technology:
We encourage students to bring their own technology whenever possible. Classrooms will still have chromebooks for student use but sharing of those devices is discouraged.
