 1 Year of Distance Learning Its hard to believe that one year ago on Friday, March 13 it was the last day we would have students here on campus.   That day we were passing out Academic Awards and enjoying frozen yogurt on campus.  I went back to last year's March 6th Blog entry and there are pictures from our lunchtime video game tournament, students working in small groups together during US History class, students hanging out together outside while we played music during lunch.  We were looking forward to things like the Lip Sync Battle, Karaoke, Paint Night, Talent Show, Senior Project Showcase, Prom, and so much more. This year has been a challenge to say the least, but our students and staff have worked so hard to make the most of it.  I am proud of how the students have been able to focus on not just what they are missing out on, but what they are able to do virtually.  Our student clubs have taken off and every day of the week st...

FSUSD Reopening Decision Thursday, February 11, 2021, the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District's Governing Board voted to return to in-person instruction once Solano County sustains five consecutive days in the Red Tier.   Based on the current trajectory of Solano County's COVID-19 data, it is anticipated that Solano County may sustain five days in the Red Tier by mid-March.  The return to in-person instruction will be a scaffolded, hybrid model.   The anticipated hybrid reopening date for Secondary Schools is April 12, 2021 (following Spring Break).  This is contingent upon the county's ability to sustain five consecutive days in the Red Tier and /or any other additional guidelines issued by the state.  Families will have the option to continue on Distance Learning for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year, if they do not choose to participate in the hybrid model of in-person learning. During the week of February 22nd, we will be sending all fam...
