The Falcon News

We had a great first week of school! Thank you for all of your hard with helping our students prepare for instruction each day. We know that it is not always easy, so please know that we appreciate you! Thank you for being patient as we worked through challenges with technology during the first week. We look forward to a great second week of school. The county has made breakfast and lunch free again. Please come by Fields Road each day to pick up a free meal. Please be on the lookout for additional messages during the week in case we have updates.

Students are expected to attend all live virtual learning classes in which they are enrolled. However, in some instances, this may not be possible due to illness or extenuating circumstances. Students may then access the recording of the class to engage in the daily learning during an alternate time within 72 hours of the absence. Students/Parents/Guardians may then submit a Live Virtual Lesson Absence Form to document that they engaged in the lesson and to request the unexcused absence to be reconciled to Present. If extenuating circumstances exist, parents/guardians are encouraged to communicate with the school’s administration ahead of time. The Live Virtual Lesson Absence Form must be completed for each documented absence.

Whenever there is a half day for students, class will be from 9 to 11:30 a.m.. Lunch is from 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Elementary schools will be following the a.m. schedule for the day of the week that the half day occurs.
