We miss your children

We miss your children!  We are anxious to get back to see their faces.  

Until we get to see them in our rooms, we get to see them on our computers!  While school has been happening and teachers have been giving fun and meaningful ideas and projects and work to our kids, on Monday school starts "for real"   Work will now be assigned, graded and discussed and attendance counted. A schedule will be created and real time conversations will be happening on Google Meet.  We also know how hard it is to balance work, kids, limited devices and everyone being home so if your student requires some flexibility on assignment due dates please reach out to their teacher and explain the situation. Teachers will record Google Meet conversations when appropriate so kids can go back to them at any time.  All extra supports will also be starting in small group work. Please make sure to check your child's Google Classroom and your email for regular updates. We are also reaching out to kids to see how they are doing both individually and in small groups--we are even trying to figure out how to do lunch bunches! We will also have Spirit Days on Tuesdays-- our first one is Tell a Joke Day--have your student be ready to tell their class a joke on Tuesday!  

Thank you for your patience as we are all trying to figure this out!  Your teachers have been stellar and creative already and it will get better.  We can’t wait to have our hallways filled again with noise, laughter and enthusiasm. 

Right now, as you know, we are learning remotely until May 1.  Spring Break will be a work break for all as normal.  


Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need something-- please email  JustineT@fsusd.org.  You can connect any number of ways with your teacher, and that is information should already have.
