Creating a Learning Environment

Students thrive when providing structure and routines for learning. In

order to help our students be successful while learning at home, follow

some of the helpful tips listed below.

• Identify a dedicated learning space in your home. Allow your child

to help pick a learning space and add some fun design opportunities

for your child to feel ownership.

• Create a daily schedule for your child to follow to help develop a

routine (see schedule provided).

• Take time to familiarize your child and yourself with the

platforms being used for remote learning.

• Plan out time to “check-in” with your child about their learning

progress.

• Have fun! Try to make the remote learning experience fun,

engaging, and exciting for your child.

Daily Schedule

Synchronous Lesson (Live Lessons): Classes/ lessons that involve online

real-time instruction from the teacher through chat, videoconferencing and

other online tools/platforms. It is like a virtual classroom that allows

students to interact with the teacher and peers and allows the teacher and

students to ask and answer questions.

Asynchronous Lesson (Recorded Lessons): Classes/ lessons that are not

real-time. Asynchronous e-learning involves coursework delivered via the

web, email and message boards that are then posted onto online forums. In

such cases, students ideally complete the course at their own pace, by

using the internet merely as a support tool rather than volunteering

exclusively for e-learning software or online interactive classes.

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,

We very much look forward to the start of a new school year! As we prepare for our students returning to a

Universal Remote Learning environment, we strongly encourage students and families review the 2020-2021

FCS Code of Conduct Handbook as there are several changes. It is important to know that behavioral

expectations for students are still in place and apply in a Universal Remote Learning environment. Potential

rule infractions in a virtual learning environment include, but are not limited to, harassment, bullying, cyber

bullying, technology offenses, disruption and insubordination. Please note that code of conduct rule violations

can also occur in the community or when using social media inappropriately. It is important that the school is

notified of any student behaviors that negatively impact the school or virtual learning environment.

Furthermore, incidents of harassment, racial slurs, bigotry, derogatory comments, physical harassment,

ethnically offensive behaviors or any threats of harm to others will not be tolerated and will be taken very

seriously. Depending on the nature and severity of the offense, the District’s response may include disciplinary

consequences up to and including long term suspension/expulsion from school.

Please note any behavior that violates the FCS Code of Conduct Handbook will be addressed through our

district’s discipline process. Below are some potential discipline responses that will be utilized in the Universal

Remote Learning environment include, but are not limited to, the following:

Parent Conference Suspension from synchronous learning

Restorative Practice Conference Loss of Privileges

Virtual Drug Education Program Impact Lesson or project

Long-term suspension/Expulsion Suspension of club/extra-curricular activities

Loss of Graduation Ceremony/Prom Suspension upon return to school

Please know that we are committed to ensuring that all our students feel safe and ready to learn and will be

providing students guidance, resources and support. Thank you for your partnership in teaching our students

behavioral expectations and standards of conduct while in a Virtual Learning Environment.

Please continue to be safe and as always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or support.

Sincerely,

Dionne Glass
