FSOA: Elementary Parent Communication 11/10/2024

 

**This communication is for students in grades 4-5.  Information for our secondary students will be in a separate email.*

Dear Phoenix Families, 

We hope that you have enjoyed this past weekend and the extended time to celebrate & recognize the service of our veterans. 

I would like to take a moment to reiterate the importance of students completing their asynchronous work every week.   Our model provides for additional flexibility in student schedules;  however, all students are still expected to engage in full-time learning.   This includes completing asynchronous work every week through Buzz or Schoology.   Students should be working every afternoon to complete this work.  

Students who don’t complete this work will be behind in all areas -- particularly Science and Social Studies -- as they move forward into next year.    Completion of this work is recorded in Infinite Campus; for more details, please see this document. 

Teachers are available during virtual learning lab on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoon; please be sure students are taking advantage of this support if they have questions about their asynchronous work.  

Thank you for your continued partnership in support of your child’s education.   Please see below for other important announcements for this week.

In appreciation, 

Adria Moersen Lamb, Principal
