PRINCIPAL UPDATE
As you will see below, we are moving into the next phase - hybrid learning. As we get closer, there may be questions that come up. Please know that the district will be following the guidelines put forth by the Tacoma Pierce County Health Department. If you have questions, please feel free to call or email me. I may not have the answer, but I will make sure we get it for you.
We can't wait until a time when we can get back together safely!!
**Remember - Wednesdays are now asynchronous days for ALL students. Teachers will have assignments for students to work on independently on Wednesdays.
Return to School Survey
We must have a survey for every student in our school!
Last week, we provided an update regarding the plans to make a hybrid learning option available this fall. Unfortunately, many of the details (around staffing, program offering, schedules, etc.) will depend on the % of students that opt for hybrid or a full remote option. We are asking families to fill out a brief survey to select their preferred model based for each student in their household no later than Monday, September 28.
We anticipate opportunities to change between hybrid and remote learning in the future if there is capacity to do so. Please visit www.fpschools.org for additional information that may inform your decision.
