Flexible Instruction Days are used when students are unable to have in person learning in the school building due to factors like inclement weather, building issues, etc.

Flexible Instruction Days can be asynchronous or synchronous.

Asynchronous FID: Students work from home independently. They check Schoology and complete assignments given by their teachers. Students must complete and submit these assignments. Teachers are available to students via email.

Synchronous FID: Students follow a bell schedule and attend their classes at home on Zoom. Teachers will have Zoom links posted on their Schoology pages along with the time their classes meet.

Attendance: On any FID, students must visit the school website: www.petchs.org and scroll down to Important Items. Click the link for FID attendance.

There will be a senior parent webinar on Monday, January 13th at 5pm. This. meeting will discuss all upcoming important events and information for seniors. The Zoom link for this meeting will be shared on our website and emailed to senior parents.
