FMS Remote Learning Headquarters

Hello FMS Families! I hope this message finds you well and enjoying the silver linings of our new temporary reality.  The following is important information regarding our remote learning plan for Fitzsimmons. I want to stress that the staff and I are here to serve you during this time.  Please reach out with questions and concerns so we can support you and your student. In an effort to simplify access to our remote learning we have created the FMS Remote Learning Headquarters - this is a website with access to all remote learning for all FMS classes.  This should be the daily “go to” for your at-home learning.   Week-at-a-Glance will still be sent to provide structure for the weekly activities Setting up a daily routine is essential for remote learning success.  We suggest planning 45 minutes a day for each subject (as if students were still in school). All FMS teachers will be holding daily “office hours” from 9-11 where they will be available via email or Google Classroom.  Staff will also be monitoring and responding to email every day from 7:25-2:35. NO DEVICE - netbooks can be checked out from FMS on March 30 from 9-10am, from 12-3pm, and from 5-7pm NO INTERNET - packets for the first week can be picked up from FMS on March 30th from 9-10am, 12-3pm, and 5-7pm.  April 6th and April 13th will be the day for drop-off/pick-up for the second and third weeks at 9-11am or 5-7pm.   CMAS testing has been cancelled for the 2019-20 school year This is certainly all uncharted territory for all of us.  Thank you in advance for your patience and grace as we learn how to serve you in a new capacity.  Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.
