Greetings SSCMS Families,
This update is to make you aware of some upcoming changes that were announced at this week’s school board meeting. FCS will be moving into Phase 3 sooner than anticipated, and the tentative start date for full time face-to-face instruction is on the horizon!
If current health trends continue, FCS will implement Phase 3 on September 21, 2020. Phase 3 is an option to reacclimate more students and teachers for a greater length of time within the Face-To-Face (F2F) school environment and to assure students and staff that school is a positive, safe, and loving place. This will include reestablishing the academic routines of face-to-face school, practicing safety protocols, and building relationships. Teachers and students will engage one full day a week in the face-to-face setting and in the remote learning setting the other days based on the published school schedule. Students served in low incidence special education classes will have the option to attend two days per week. Typical school routines will be re-introduced during the F2F experience, and breakfast and lunch will be provided.
This is all dependent on the continued decrease of cases in our communities. Students will be scheduled based on the students' last name. The schedule by last name is below:
• Monday – A through E
• Tuesday – F through K
• Thursday – L through P
• Friday – Q through Z
**There will be no face-to-face instruction on Wednesdays during Phase 3.
Full details of the SSCMS Phase 3 Plan will be shared early next week. With the plan to move into new phases, we will have to look at our schedule carefully so that we may allow for necessary transportation and school nutrition needs. Additionally, depending on the number of students who decide to remain in remote learning, there may be some schedule adjustments that need to be made.

Thank you for your continued support of our school,
