Every Day Counts in FUSD - Student Absences

Attendance message from FUSD will go to all families before July 31. What you should know:

~ A parent/guardian must contact the school within 48 hours of a student’s absence.
~ Acceptable reasons for a student to be absent from school that are excusable by their parent or guardian:  illness, doctor appointment, mental or behavioral health, homelessness, bereavement, family emergencies, family vacation (up to three (3) days per school year), time necessary to process for the armed forces, and out-of-school suspensions.


Don't let the grass grow under your feet!   

Nancy will be doing Writing Revolution PD at Knoles this year.  If you missed the opportunity to learn with us last year (Marshall's voluntary book study), Knoles  has offered to invite other schools. Please let me know if you are interested.

Support from Jane Gaun (Bridges and Math Recovery):

~Teachers should start with the September Number Corner and move on from there.

~ Feel free to reach out at any time with questions or concerns.  Let me know if you or your team want to work through anything; planning, finding resources on the educator site, work places, number corner, number talks, strange new models or strategies or anything else.

~ Remember that you are required to teach 80 minutes of Bridges in Math everyday!
20 minutes of Number Corner and 
60 minutes of Problems and Investigations and Work Place

~ The Bridges Educator Site is invaluable as a resource and once you have an account with an FUSD email you can access Bridges through Clever!!
Remember we are all math people!


Transition to iPads for Document Camera Use

Unfortunately, due to some fire marshal findings, FUSD needed to mobilize quickly over the past week or so to remove the VGA cables from ceilings. These were a fire hazard and the remediation to get them up to code was more expensive than our preferred solution of iPad stands to use as document cameras. This accelerated our timelines of moving away from doc cams.  


As some document cameras become outdated or stop functioning, we will be transitioning to the use of teacher iPads, paired with district-provided stands. A document camera functions as a mounted camera that projects images through a projector. Teachers can now use an iPad on a stand in the same way, either through the Camera app or by downloading the Doc Cam app from Self-Service.

To support this transition, the LTI department has created an instructional video tutorial, highlighting the features and benefits of this new setup.

Mandatory Training Modules
