Titan Tidbits - Parents
Week 34: April 20-24, 2020
General Announcements:
Titan Families,
Thank you for your continued support as we continue with this second wave of eLearning!
I wanted to follow-up with you to inform you about a few items that we've been receiving questions about. First, we do not know when or if the Governor will decide to cancel school for the remainder of the year. Second, if we do return, we do not know how this will impact families that do not (for whatever the reason) want/feel safe sending their child(ren) back to school. Third, we do not get to individually as a school or district make these decisions. What I can tell you is that as decisions are being made TCES and the FMSD promise to keep you in the loop.
Please remember that if you have questions directed to eLearning, your child's teacher is the best resource to have your questions answered.
Additionally, if your family has been negatively impacted, like many others, during this time and you are finding yourself without food or other necessities, please reach out to me through email (wagnerb@fortmillschools.org) so that we can do our best to connect you with resources which can support you.
Stay well Titan Family,
Brigitte

Reminders about eLearning:
The eLearning schedule is as follows:
- There will be 10 days of work (this is what was agreed upon by the district). Once your child is finished with the 10 days of work, they will have time to finish/makeup any work. These 10 days of plans will last us until Thursday, April 30.
- Completed Packets: Students can continue to return completed work electronically to their teacher. Students completing paper assignments should keep their work until we return to school or until alternative instructions are determined.
Social and Emotional Learning Support
Social Emotional Learning Support
As previously shared, our school counselors and school psychologist are regularly updating their websites with resources for parents to access to support the social and emotional needs of students during this challenging time. In addition to parent resources, there are supplemental social/emotional learning activities and read alouds for students. Also, the school counselors have added a Virtual Check In Request Form to their website that parents, teachers, and students can access to request a virtual check in from a school counselor. Please see their website for more information.
