Flexible Instructional Days (FID)

Flexible Instructional Days (FID) may be used due to inclement weather, such as snow, during a school closing when the physical school buildings will be closed and school will occur online. A two-hour delay may also be converted into a Flexible Instructional Day if school buildings are unable to open. 

Penn London & Avon Grove Intermediate Schools

  • Students bring home Chromebooks to access the online, synchronous portions of their day. Students are permitted to use personal devices as well. 

  •  A Flexible Instructional Day (FID) is to be treated like a regular school day in regards to attendance.  If your student is absent on a FID, please send in an absence reason as usual.

  • At the K-5 elementary level, students will log onto Schoology at 8:40 AM and access Google Meet to start the day with their teacher for morning meeting. If a two-hour delay converts to a FID, students should log on at 10:40 AM. 

  • After morning meeting, teachers will review learning activities for students to complete asynchronously during the day.  In the afternoon, teachers will be available via Google Meet for one hour to answer questions and support students as needed.  Teachers will communicate the times when they will be available in the afternoon.

  • Students should return their Chromebooks to school on the next day of in person instruction.

  • If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your teacher or building administrative team.
