Attention Fairmont Families,
We have set 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟔𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭'𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐧-𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. At the moment, we are looking at multiple options for daily schedules and the number of days students will be in-person.
Options currently in consideration include 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧-𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤. The number of days and schedule chosen will be determined by the number of students choosing in-person learning or remote to ensure safety and six feet distancing.
To facilitate final staffing, scheduling, and other needs, we need direct information regarding your student(s) and whether they will be coming back into the building or staying remote.𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫. If you desire in-person, please choose it now. Switching to in-person later will not be an option due to the impact to staffing and class size.
𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝟐/𝟏𝟔/𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏. If you do not make a selection, your student will remain in remote learning for the remainder of the school year.
Schedules being considered include 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧-𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟖𝐀𝐌-𝟏𝟏𝐀𝐌 𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝟖𝐀𝐌-𝟏𝟐𝐏𝐌.
If the District implements the 8AM-11AM schedule, remote students will have interventions and asynchronous work in the morning and remote learning will take place with the teacher via Zoom from 12PM-3PM. With this schedule, all students will have lunch from 11AM-12PM. In-person students will be responsible for completing asynchronous work and/or interventions in the afternoon between 12PM-3PM while the remote students are online with the teacher.
If the 8AM-12PM option is implemented, both in-person and remote students will learn together with the teacher. Remote students will join the class via Zoom as usual. With this schedule, all students will have lunch at home from 12PM-1PM and return online via Zoom for interventions from 1:00PM-2:00PM.
Again, the schedule implemented will be determined by parent responses for in-person or remote learning. If you have questions, please call the school office at 815-726-6156.
