ZOOM
I’m sure by now, you have heard that the district is transitioning from Big Blue Button to Zoom as our video conferencing platform. Canvas will continue to be the Learning Management System, but we will move to Zoom as the conferencing platform. This move is in an effort to reduce the challenges of audio & video quality that were experienced with Big Blue Button.
The transition is set to begin today, and it is expected that all classes will move to Zoom by Jan. 4. We realize that consistency is so important for our students and while you may see a slightly different video format, it is our hope that the change will lead to better audio and video quality and fewer learning disruptions.
If you have questions about the product, need help navigating Zoom or have concerns about your child utilizing this platform click on the Student Guide for Zoom button below or go to www.fpschools.org/zoom.
REPORT CARDS
The first trimester ended Wednesday, December 2. Teachers are preparing report cards for this first grading period, and they will be sent in the mail this Friday, December 11. Please take the time to go over your child’s grades and progress and contact your child's teacher if you have any questions.
