We look forward to conversing with you on Saturday, December 10th at 10:00 AM via Zoom!

Mark Your Calendars: Winter Celebration

• We are excited to celebrate the end of first semester with a Winter Celebration on Thursday, December15. 

• Students in grades 2–12 are invited to the ESC from  8am-12pm to participate in crafts, games, and win prizes.  We hope to see your student there!

GoGuardian Teacher

FSOA utilizes GoGuardian Teacher in synchronous classes. GoGuardian Teacher allows us to better support students when they are using technology during class time.  It is active during a GoGuardian class when students are logged into Google Chrome using their Adams 12 Google account during the course of the school day from 7 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.   Here’s a quick overview of how  it supports students:

• Helps students be successful and stay focused when using technology in class

• Helps assess and support student progress on class assignments.

• Facilitates communication between teachers and students during class time

• A teacher is not able to take control of students’ computers, camera or access information or files stored on the computer. 

For more information, please read this letter! Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
