FID DAY Expectations- Shikellamy High School
a month ago
What is a Flexible Instructional Day (FID)?
The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) approved the use of Flexible Instruction Days (FID) as an alternate form of instruction in place of a day otherwise canceled due to inclement weather or District emergency. PDE will count this as a full day of school. The District has been approved to use up to a maximum of five (5) FID for this school year. On a FID, students will complete learning assignments provided by the teacher at home on the day that otherwise would have been canceled. Students will receive assignments for each subject that would have originally taken place during a regular school day via Google Classroom and Google Meet. The District will utilize FID days when determined necessary by the superintendent.
Expectations of a FID
Teachers will provide a Google Meet for each class period and post in their Google Classroom.
On the Flexible Instructional Day, the teacher will be in the Meet and provide several minutes of instruction and provide an activity for students to complete.
All students are expected to attend the Google Meet during the assigned time. If you are absent, you will receive a zero on the assignment provided that day. If you are ill, you will need to provide a parent note to be allowed to make up the assignment. If you are past the 10 day absence mark and are required to provide a doctor’s note, you will need to present a doctor’s note to be excused and make up the assignment. In each case, you will have three days to present a note.
If you have no internet access, you will need to inform your teacher and paperwork will be provided before if possible or upon returning to school.
Each teacher will be provided with “Office Hours” and a Google Meet will be set up during this time to address any questions or concerns students may have.
A Flexible Instructional Day Schedule will be provided to teachers and students.
