Fife High News HYBRID edition

Dear Fife Families,

Word's can't adequately express how thankful I am for all the support the community has lent our school and staff. So many limiting factors placed on our school community, and with each hurdle our students, families, and staff steps up to meet the challenge. We are now in our final week before we embark on yet another major transition... returning to campus and switching to our 6 period schedule.

Please take time to read through the information included in this newsletter. It's relevant to all our students, those going into full remote learning, and those going into Hybrid on campus learning. Students, should you be confused about anything don't hesitate to ask any of your teachers for clarification, and we will have another Family Class lesson next Monday 3/1 dedicated to this next chapter in our school year.

Sincerely,

Brandon Bakke

Principal

With the schedule change to a 6 period day we will not have daily office hours. However, Monday's we are expanding office hours. If you are needing assistance from your teacher they are available online between 11:40-2:20 each Monday.

You can still email your teacher any time, and students who are on campus can meet with teachers after school if needed until 2:40PM.

We want to welcome our 10th graders onto our campus, many of them will be stepping foot onto FHS for the first time, so March 2-3 will ONLY have 10th graders who are in Hybrid on campus. Don't worry Sophomores, we will make sure you know where you are going on the first day.

• When you arrive on campus on these days we will help you find your way to our check in and your first class, so don't worry about getting lost!

On these orientation days we do not have zoom classes, and 11th and 12th grade hybrid students will not have school. Students in these groups will have asynchronous learning tasks assigned for those two days.

When you arrive on Thursday 3/4 or Friday 3/5 on your assigned day, after you go through our health check in we will be providing you with a tour to help you navigate campus. After you get through the check in line head to the front steps by the flag pole!
