FUSD to Start School Year with Remote Learning
Decision on in-person learning to be re-evaluated in
first quarter according to health data
|
|
The Flagstaff Unified School District Governing Board approved a recommendation to have all students begin the 2020-2021 school year, on August 17, 2020, in Flexible Remote Learning and Distance Learning options only and delay the start of In-Person Learning at school sites at least through the first quarter (October 9, 2020). The recommendation to move entirely to online remote learning was based on significant levels of spread and positive cases of COVID-19 in local communities and the state of Arizona, and the District’s commitment to the health and safety of students, FUSD staff, and vulnerable members of our communities.
“Making this decision now provides more certainty about the start of the school year, and enables staff to focus solely on preparing for high quality remote and distance learning,” said FUSD Superintendent Michael Penca. “We know that this will impact our students and community, but we appreciate the willingness and flexibility as we deal with the implications of a global pandemic.”
In Flexible Remote Learning, FUSD teachers will support students’ learning through learning management systems, such as Canvas or Google Classroom, with daily live engagement between students and teachers. Students will be able to interact with classmates and staff through interactive videoconferencing and all FUSD students (K-12) will be provided with iPad technology devices and internet hotspots are available as needed. Participation and attendance of students is expected and student progress will be supported with feedback and grades. Social emotional support and accommodations and services will continue to be provided while special education services will be determined by the Individual Education Plan (IEP) team. Students may participate in modified extracurricular activities and events offered at their home FUSD school.
As another option, FUSD students in grades 5 – 12 may enroll in Northern Arizona Distance Learning (NADL) for an entire semester or school year. NADL is approved for Arizona Online Instruction (AOI) and offers core and elective courses aligned to state and national standards and has been an FUSD school offering since 2005. All courses are developed by highly qualified Arizona educators and all credits earned will transfer to any FUSD school. Additionally, all Arizona colleges, universities, military programs, and NCAA recognize credits earned through NADL. Instruction through NADL is provided entirely online and students can work at any time of day as their attendance is monitored as they log in and complete coursework. Technology devices from FUSD will be offered and internet hotspots are available as needed.

Registration for COVID-19 testing at Ft. Tuthill testing site RECOMMENDED
|
|
Coconino County Health and Human Services (CCHHS) is asking individuals seeking COVID-19 testing at Fort Tuthill County Park, 2446 Fort Tuthill Loop, Flagstaff to register online at www.coconino.az.gov/covid19. Registration will assist staff with planning by providing a total anticipated testing count for each day. Individuals that register to be tested will receive an authorization ticket that should be presented at the testing site. Testing is scheduled Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Individuals exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, runny nose, congestion and new loss of taste or smell) and individuals that feel they have been exposed to COVID-19 are encouraged to be tested. Waiting 5 to 8 days following exposure is recommended in order
to obtain the most accurate results. Individuals requesting testing outside of this may be asked to come back during the 5 – 8 day window.
The incubation period for COVID-19, the amount of time it takes before symptoms develop or an individual becomes contagious, is 2-14 days. Testing later in the incubation period increases the confidence in a negative result
Warning signs of COVID-19 include trouble breathing, chest pain, confusion, inability to wake up or stay awake and bluish lips or face. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately.
To help protect others, people who have been exposed to a confirmed COVID-19 case and are awaiting testing should stay home and quarantine as much as possible. If an individual must leave home, wearing a face covering and practicing physical distancing is strongly recommended.
Due to resource limitations, including laboratory capacity, supplies and staffing, the testing site may need to limit the number of tests provided per day. Notification of an early testing site closure will be posted at www.coconino.az.gov/covid19, on the County Facebook page, and at the park entrance. The COVID-19 Information Line, 928-679-7300, can also provide the most up to date information.
Testing is free of charge and is provided on a first come first served basis. Everyone at the testing site is required to wear a mask or face covering. Testing is intended for Coconino County residents.
For more information and resources on COVID-19 please visit www.coconino.az.gov/covid19 or call the County COVID-19 Information Line at 928.679.7300 Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

sea posible. Si un individuo debe salir de casa, se recomienda usar una cubierta facial y practicar distanciamiento físico.
