FRMS Update 9/14: Schedules, Google Classroom Practice, and More

With the start of school just over a week away, a few updates and reminders for students enrolled in the FRMS Hybrid program:

1. Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL) starts for FRMS students on Tuesday, September 22nd. Individual student schedules are up in Home Access and we have hard copies here in the office. The “bell” schedule with class times is on the right hand side of the FRMS website under Distance Learning Schedule.
2.  Accessing classes: Students will access their classroom through Google Classroom. When they pick up their chromebooks, they will be given their Google ID and Password. Students who don’t check out a chromebook, can call the office and we will give them that information or they can stop by to pick up their ID and Password. We are also going to be open on Wednesday evening from 5 to 7 to distribute Google IDs and Passwords to families as well as schedule information.
3. Google Classroom Codes: Students will get an invitation to join the Google Classroom for each class on their schedule. They should receive those in the Google Email by the end of the week. We are also going to email parents information on how to access Google Classroom and the class codes for that grade level. Please do not share the codes on Facebook or other social media. Students will only need the codes for the first time that they “join” the class.
4.  Practice Class: We are setting up a Google/Zoom practice class on Monday, September 21st. Teachers will host a drop in Zoom meeting for students from 10:00 to 10:50. To access that Zoom meeting, students will need to sign in to Google and then use their class code to join the Google classroom. Once they join in, they can follow the Zoom link to join the live Zoom class meeting and say hi to their teachers. We strongly encourage students and families to take advantage of this time to practice accessing their Google classrooms and Zoom meeting. During the 10:00 to 11:00 hour, they can “drop into” all five of their classes if they want to.
