Dear Important People At Home,

You received a letter from the district explaining that in the case of a school cancellation, the district may designate the day as a FIDS Day, in which students are required to complete pre-determined work to compensate for the lost instructional time. Using the one-call system, the district will notify you if the cancellation qualifies as a FIDS Day.

The Jefferson-Morgan School District will be providing students with instruction through our FIDS format for March 17 - 20, 2020.

Please review your child’s IEP or other paperwork to make sure that you know which goals your child is working on. When reviewing speech sounds with your child, you may need to remind your child how to make the sound, say “Look at my mouth, see how I “_” to make this sound. Let’s look in a mirror together. Now you try!”

I am attaching some ideas for both articulation and language. In addition, please refer to my webpage:

www.jmsd.org click on Jefferson Morgan Elementary, then go to staff and click on my name Mrs. Szerensci. Or

More materials and ideas including websites to encourage development of your child’s speech language practice at home for daily practice and FIDS Days.

I will be available to answer questions or provide guidance on any FIDS Day from 10:00am – 2:00 pm.

You may contact me via my email: [email protected]

As always, thank you for your support,

Mrs. Szerensci MS CCC/SLP
