Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for taking the time to fill out our survey last Friday with your feedback on how our first week of online learning went. We appreciated the overwhelming gratitude that you showed in your posts. This is new for us so we are figuring it out right along with you, and appreciate your partnership. Some things to know regarding last week and this coming week:
- These first few weeks will not be new learning for any students in DCSD, meaning all activities should be review and be able to be completed independently. We are working on connecting with kids and learning how to work within a remote learning platform.
- Grade K-1 will continue to have an email sent to the parents by 9 am (our usual start time) with daily activities.
- Please communicate with your specials teachers if you are finding it difficult to scan/send etc. They will work with you!
- Grades 2-6 are conducting learning through google classroom, a platform that your children are familiar with and will continue to learn within.
- Most teachers have already reached out and connected with the class via google hangouts or zoom. Our K-1 teachers are taking this slow as it can be more difficult for them to do this independently.
- Please reach out should you have any questions!
The most important thing I want all families to know is your health and well being are our very most important priority right now. We know that there are many of you that are working remotely, may have lost income, or are working with extended families to help support child care. If you are struggling please reach out to me, we can help connect you with resources if you need them. School is important, however, our students' and families' well-being is more important and we are a community ready to help. Again, please reach out and don't stress, these are unprecedented times that we will get through together. #oneflagstone

Are you feeling overwhelmed with the added responsibility of supporting your child with their learning? Please check out this parent/teacher blog titled: Homeschooling is NOT the Same as Crisis Schooling. I thought it was a great article for me to read as a mom as I am working from home and managing remote learning for my two daughters. Remember these are very uncertain times and your best is good enough! Hang in there and please reach out if you need support.

FSE Community Tackles Remote Learning Head On
I am so proud of this entire community! Our staff, students and parents jumped right into our first week with an open mind and a positive attitude. There were some hiccups but overall students were able to connect with their teachers and classes and get a feel for our online platforms. Way to go!! #oneflagstone
