The start of the 20-21 school year is just days away and FRMS is excited to start the distance learning process with your child. To help get the year off to a great start on Tuesday, we ask that our families do the following:
1. Set up an area in your house that your student can use as their “classroom” during distance learning. This should be a space where they can be online for all 5 classes throughout the day. Set up their space with their school supplies (list posted on the website) and their planners will help them stay organized.
2. Print out a copy of our Distance Learning Bell Schedule for your child and put that in their work space so they know what time each period begins.
3. Make sure that your child has their current Google ID and Password. Passwords for all students were reset on 9/14, so if you have not called or picked up your new password please do so. You can just call the school or stop by. Your child’s Google Email/User ID is their initials, their lunch number and @student.oregonk–12.com. For example John Doe would be JD12345@student.oregonk-12.com
4. Make sure your child knows how to use their Google ID and Password to sign into their school Google Account and can open the Google Classroom App
5. Check to make sure they have all five class icons by Monday- Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, and P.E. Teachers are still enrolling students, so don’t panic if all five aren’t there on Friday. Students may also receive an email to join a class. If your child checks Monday and doesn’t find all five icons or any invites in their email, please call the school and let us know.
6. Encourage your child to take part in our Zoom Practice Class on Monday the 21st from 10:00 to 10:50. They will need to sign on, enter their classrooms, click on the link to the Zoom meeting, and join in the class. Teachers will be on line during this drop in time. This will give your child a chance to practice the process that they will follow on Tuesday to join their classes. This is optional but strongly recommended.
7. And finally, get ready to have a very different but very exciting school year with us!!!!
If you have any issues with accessing classrooms or getting online on Monday, please call the office at 541-935-8230 so we can help.
