No they won’t. The kids have completed 3/4 of the year. Tbh, 4th quarter is almost all standardized prep and testing and “other fun stuff” anyway. And the tests WILL be waived this year. 1st-3rd quarter are the ones where kids are actively learning new stuff and applying it to different concepts with each progressing quarter. 4th quarter is “we have to prep you for all these tests and how can we recap everything we’ve learned?” It’s not ideal but they’ll be ok missing 4th quarter if they have to.
Schools cannot and will not retain an entire cohort of students across the country. That’s ridiculous.

Teachers reading this - are you preparing for online education for high school students?

Just a mom here with 3 FCPS students. I have been thinking that maybe FCPS would start the next school yr with a one or two semester review and students would then advance to their year/grad level. So, my current high school junior would (optimistic prediction here) begin the school year as a "junior/senior." Schools would get the students caught up to meet grad requirements. I understand there would need to be huge adjustments at all levels.

I am hoping they come up with a distance learning plan, but am not sure that will happen. I am guessing AP classes are canceled.
And the colleges need the freshmen since they have gone to distance learning, and not closing.
Also there is no way in hell we are repeating the fall semester of the senior year. That was too much,
PP here. I should add, my DD has said, she does not want last Thursday to be her last day of HS.
