Good evening Fair Play families. I apologize for the length of this message but I have a lot of information for you. The focus of this message is for our families that have students that will be using our virtual option. Student devices will be ready to be picked up on Monday. We will stay late after school for families that are needing to come pick up devices after work or if you need to make other arrangements to pick up your students device please contact the offices. Our students that are needing hot-spots for internet access, we will be sending them home as soon as they come in. However, until that point our teachers will be sending home work through packets or USB drives for students to complete. Our hope is that the company will be able to get the hot-spots to us by the end of next week. We apologize for this inconvenience as this is not the way we wanted our virtual session to start for our students who did not have internet access. Lastly, Mr. Whaley has made some how-to-guides to help students and parents navigate Edgenuity (9-12) and ALS (K-8). These guides will be posted on our website and Facebook page. If you have questions please reach out to the offices and we will get answers for you. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate through this time. Have a great weekend.
