Fox C-6 Four-Day School Week Community Conversations
Recently, we have held two Community Conversations regarding the possibility of a four-day school week for Fox C-6 students. I’d like to thank our staff and community members for actively engaging in these events and sharing their likes, concerns, and questions about the four-day school week.
While we continue to review the input we have received throughout this process, we have noticed several common questions arise. Today, we are releasing several frequently asked questions and responses to them on our website's four-day school week section: www.foxc6.org/fourday. I encourage you to review these items. We will address additional questions at the upcoming Community Conversations on April 3 (Seckman High School gym) and April 4 (Fox Service Center). Both meetings will begin at 6:30 pm. Please note that we will only livestream the April 4 community conversation due to logistical issues with live streaming from the Seckman campus.
Additionally, you will find a sample four-day school week calendar in the FAQ section of the website. This calendar is merely a sample that is based on the draft 2024-2025 calendar. It has been developed based on questions we have received to give families and staff members an idea of what a four-day school week calendar could look like in Fox C-6.
While we have released answers to some of the most common questions and concerns asked thus far, please know that we have received hundreds of likes, concerns, and questions regarding the four-day school week. As we research and vet these questions, we will update the FAQ section of the website.
Respectfully,
Dr. Paul Fregeau
