Learning Modality Commitment – Last Nine Weeks of School Year
As we approach the midterm of the second semester, FCS is requesting parents make a commitment for how they wish their child to learn – face-to-face instruction vs remote learning – for the remainder of the school year. The last 9-week period begins on March 16 and runs until the end of the semester. No action is needed if parents are satisfied with their child’s current learning environment, and only those who wish to change should contact their school between March 1-12. The student’s learning group will remain the same as it stood on March 1, unless the school is notified. Please contact AP Kim Kapella for change requests at HBMS.

At our recent Parent University session on Tuesday, March 2 we shared information about how AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) impacts ALL students at HBMS in every content area. Join us to learn how we support students to think critically, collaborate, and set high expectations for success in school and beyond.
