Dear FVS Community:
Monday is going to be a BIG day at FVS. After three weeks apart, our full faculty will gather virtually for professional development in support of our launch of Fountain Valley School Virtual (FVSV). Despite being on break, our teachers have been hard at work preparing to welcome students to their virtual classrooms when we re-engage in learning. I am in awe of the creativity and passion for education that I’ve seen in our faculty as they embrace both the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. I am profoundly grateful and proud.
The focus of today’s message is to provide details about how FVSV will work and to share a guide we've developed to Fountain Valley School Virtual that can be accessed through the link at the end of this email. It is critical that both students as well as their parents/guardians read through this guide closely. I thank you in advance for your time and attention to the details. FVSV is a true learning partnership and because of the time and distance that separates us, we need the support of all involved.
We’ve all experienced a tremendous amount of disturbance over the past few weeks, and while I look forward to the return of structure and predictability when we re-engage in our routine, I am most excited to reconnect with students, see their smiling faces, and share stories of our experiences over the past few weeks. I will be making a point to visit classes and advisory meetings so that we may connect and so that I may see firsthand the good work that will be done together. The true transformative power of an FVS education is found in the deep connections that exist within our community and that provide the academic, social, and emotional support that are the hallmarks of Fountain Valley School.
Last, I will reiterate my gratitude to each and every member of our community. The collaborative spirit and outpouring of support I witness each day are truly inspiring. This is who we are; this is FVS.
Take good care, stay safe, and be well.
