Snow Day Information
Flexible Instruction Day
K-8
Pennsylvania Department of Education and the Diocese of Pittsburgh have approved Flexible Instruction Days (FID) for the 2019-2020 school year. An FID is used in place of a school day that has been cancelled due to inclement weather or other emergency situations.  On an FID, students will complete learning activities and assignments provided by the teacher or teachers at home on the day that would have otherwise been cancelled. Each school has their own specific plan on how to carry out an FID day.
Our plan at AGS is as follows:

• All students will have an AGS folder in their bookbag marked SNOW DAY. This folder must remain in the bookbag.
• The folders will have directions and materials for completion of the material.
• Due to the timely nature of this material, it will be changed as concepts are changed and winter proceeds.This is not a homework folder.  Do not complete the work inside of it ahead of time.  Some work will be removed and replaced. 
• There may also be online assignments such as prodigy, spelling city etc. The instructions will also be in the folder.
• All parents should refer to their teachers’ homework page for updates or should we have more than one consecutive snow day.
• All work is required to be completed and turned in within 2 days of a snow day.
• Any child not returning completed work is considered absent for that day.

 
With this being the first year of FID days please be patient as we work to perfect the model.
