I hope everyone is staying safe and warm. As we continue to monitor the weather conditions, our primary concern remains the safety and well-being of our students and staff. Due to the forecasted snowfall and dangerous road conditions throughout the day, we have decided to transition to eLearning for tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
Here are the important details regarding the transition to remote learning:
Date: Wednesday, February 12, 2025
Schedule: We will follow a regular Regular Bell Schedule on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.
Communication Platforms: Teachers will post information about class expectations using Schoology by 7:45 a.m. Students need to check the “Update” feed for each of their courses’ expectations. Please reference the Remote/e-Learning Guidelines for students.
Attendance: Students are required to participate in our remote learning day as outlined by each of their classes. In the event a student will be “absent,” to be considered excused, a parent/guardian must report the student’s absences following our regular attendance policy.
Reporting an Absence In the event that a student is not able to complete coursework or participate in class learning activities during tomorrow’s school day, the student’s absence should be reported using Fenwick’s standard attendance procedures. To report an absence for all or part of tomorrow’s school day, a parent or guardian must call the school (708-386-0127 x 341) or send an email to attendance@fenwickfriars.com before 8:00 a.m. to report the absence and give the following information:
• Student’s full name and year in school • Parent/Guardian’s full name • A specific and fully stated reason • Parent/Guardian daytime phone number
Athletics/Clubs/Activities All athletic practices, clubs and activities have been canceled for tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12, 2025, and Fenwick’s school building will be closed. Further updates regarding scheduled athletic games will be communicated as soon as possible. We anticipate that the roads will be cleared and ready for travel for Thursday, February 13.
Again, we appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we navigate these winter months and inclement weather circumstances, with safety at the forefront of our decision-making.
Sincerely,
Dr. John L. Finan Principal
