Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
The past 8 months we have all been working, living and schooling our children in a Pandemic that no one foresaw lasting this long. Students, teachers and parents have been extremely resilient and have faced many challenges. We have prepared to return to school, stay virtual, and pivoted several times as the Governor and MDHHS have issued orders that have limited our face-to-face instruction. We are looking forward to returning to school on January 4th, 2021. Many students have chosen to return to face-to face instruction, while other chose to remain virtual. When we return to school on January 4th we will follow the schedule below for the remaining days left in first semester.
We are working on completing the schedule for second semester. As we are building the schedule for second semester, we are working with teachers to accommodate the different “types” of schedules that exist. Enrollment in those classes and student choice of virtual/face-to-face will determine what classes will be able to be offered face-to-face and virtual. Counselors will be notifying students of potential schedule changes and options for students that will be affected.
Grading and Final Exams will again look different than they have in the past. Below is a communication about grading and final exams. Due to FHS being remote for the first semester of 2020-2021, we have decided to offer a Credit/No Credit option for students in their classes. After discussing with your student, please submit a form for EACH class you would like a credit/no credit option in. Please reference PowerSchool to see your student's classes. To earn credit students must have 60% and meet all course competencies (CTE Classes students must have 70% and meet all competencies). A Credit (CR) or No credit (NC) does not affect GPA. All SMART Hour grades will be Credit/No Credit. If you do not submit a form students will receive the grade they earned at the end of the semester. Responses can be submitted until January 15th at 12:00pm.
Again, I thank you for your patience as we work with our families to do what is best for our students. We are all in this together, and remember to be kind and be flexible during this unprecedented time.
With Fraser Pride,
Ryan D. Sines, Ed.S.
