Online Program
In order for students to be successful in an online learning environment, students must be able to effectively manage their time, learn independently, and take responsibility for their learning. Students are required to complete their course work according to the course pacing guides and the goals established with the input of their FCS educator.
At the K-5 level this will require daily parent support. Students are required to complete their coursework according to the teacher’s expectations. This will be a combination of live Zoom lessons, recorded lessons, small group time, and work completion.
FCS educators are committed to helping students reach their academic achievement goals. We believe that this is achieved through a partnership with families and students in order to help students achieve the State and district’s high standards.
