What does your FASL do to support students in second semester?
Currently enrolled students will continue to stay connected to the Family Support Liaison as we move into the second semester. I will continue to make contact with families to ensure that they have a strong start and understand the expectations going into second semester. I will continue to have conversations with the students and their families about the importance of logging into classes daily, checking kmails, completing assignments, and attending Class Connect sessions. This gives them the tools they need to thrive in an online learning enviornment!
