Student Planning Profile - Respond by August 17th
Hello Families! It is my hope that you received this Student Planning Profile in Monday’s Find Out First from our school. If you have completed the profile…thank you! If you have not completed, please do so by Monday, August 17th. A profile must be completed for each child that attends Yellow Springs. This information will help us in planning and preparing for the school year.
The FOF from Monday, August 9, 2020:
We are so excited for the 2020-21 school year! Virtual learning starts for all FCPS students and staff on August 31. We need to hear from you as we plan for a successful school year.
For the upcoming school year, we need you to complete a student planning profile for each child that will attend Yellow Springs Elementary.
To access Yellow Springs' Student Planning Profile, click on the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YSES-RegIntent
This information is critical to adequately prepare for your child's instruction. You must complete one profile for each child that is enrolled in an FCPS school. If you have children in another FCPS school, you will receive communication from that school with a different link.
Please complete this profile by Monday, August 17.
If you have any questions, please contact our school's front office for assistance.

Class Assignments, Class Schedules, & Schoology Access
During the week of August 17th, you can expect to receive an email that will have your child’s classroom assignment. You will also receive information about your child’s classroom schedule for learning in the virtual environment. The schedule will give you an idea of the times that your child will be online receiving instruction from the teacher and times that your child will complete work independently online and/or by paper/pencil.
Access to Schoology, our online learning platform, will be shared with families during the week of August 17th. Along with the Schoology information will be links to tutorials for parents to be able to help your child(ren).
When you receive the schedule(s), please review and begin to think about how it will work for your child(ren) and family. We know this is new for all of us – students, families, teachers, staff, and administrators. As a school community, let’s commit to working together to face any challenges we may have in this new educational journey!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at susan.gullo@fcps.org or call the front office at 240-236-1700.
School Supply List
On Tuesday, August 11th, FCPS sent a Find Out First message with the school supply list. Included in this list is a sketchbook. If your 4th or 5th grade student attended Yellow Springs last year, their sketchbook will be returned for use at home during virtual learning. A link to the supply list is included here.
If you need assistance in obtaining school supplies, please call the front office (240-236-1700) so we can ensure your child(ren) has the supplies needed.
In addition to the supply list, your child(ren) will receive learning materials provided by the school. We will be determining day(s)/time(s) for families to pick up learning materials for virtual learning. Stay tuned!
