Flexible Instruction Days & Two-Hour Delay Info

Flexible Instruction Days (F.I.D.):

As winter weather brings the possibility of snow and ice, please be reminded that the Rose Tree Media School District will implement Flexible Instructional Days (FID) when necessary. An email outlining this information was sent by the school district on November 26th. In the event of an FID, families will receive an email from the principal by 9:00 AM with all the details. Additionally, your child's homeroom teacher will send an email with specific Zoom links and schedules for that day. Here are the key details from the November 26th email regarding FID:

  • Students will use their own or their family’s device. No technology will be sent home for elementary students.
  • Students in grades K-5 should work on the paper packet that was previously sent home. These packets are also available in Schoology and will be included in the email sent by your child’s teacher at 9:00 AM if FID is scheduled.
  • Attendance will be based on completion of the work in the packet. All work is due on the next in-person school day.
  • Optional office hours for students will be held from 9:00-9:30 AM and 11:45 AM-12:15 PM, with synchronous instruction available from 9:30-11:10 AM.
  • IEP, 504, MTSS, and GIEP Meetings will occur as scheduled unless there is an emergency (e.g., no power). Every effort will be made to proceed with scheduled meetings, although meeting times may need to be adjusted to accommodate the FID schedule. If you have a meeting scheduled, please stay tuned for any time changes and Zoom links.

Below are the links to all the packets that were sent home at conferences:
