December 14-December 18

Regular NTI Schedule (No new content)

Dual Credit Classes will NOT Meet 

All students will be expected to attend their regular class sessions unless instructed individually by the teacher to not attend class. Teachers will communicate directly through CANVAS messenger or email to let students know if they are exempt from class, otherwise everyone is expected to attend class. Students with IEPs or 504s will also use this week for any work or assessments that required extended time from the previous week.

Teachers will use this week to provide remediation/enrichment for missed content and allow students to make up missing assignments or work they scored poorly on starting with the current module. Students may be permitted to work their way backwards through modules on missing assignments or content based on teacher discretion, not to exceed the date of the first progress grade posting (October 2nd). Students will have Advisory on Thursday 12/17 as a final check-in with their teachers before leaving for Winter break. All students are required to log in for Advisory.

A permanent home 

FCPS did extensive renovations on the former Imani Baptist Church at 1555 Georgetown Rd., which the Fayette County Board of Education voted in December 2017 to purchase as a permanent home for STEAM Academy and the unrelated and 2018-launched Success Academy. Both programs moved into the building in late fall 2020.
