Flexible Instructional Day (FID)

The Pennsylvania Department of Education allows public schools to hold a maximum of five Flexible Instructional Days (FID) per year that allow students and staff to learn and work remotely during emergency/inclement weather days. These five FIDs count as school days, and are not required to be made up at a later date.
 

Expectations for students

• The first five (5) emergency/inclement weather days will be held as FID/virtual days.   
   
  • All brick and mortar K-12 programs will begin virtually at 9:00 A. M. and end at 1:30 P. M.  
    • Secondary-level DCA procedures will be communicated separately. 
    • Elementary DCA students should follow the CCIU inclement weather plans.
    • TCHS students should follow their DASD schedule. 
  • All classes will include a live zoom session, including direct instruction and live support during student work time.
     
• Students are expected to attend all classes via zoom utilizing the schedule below. If a student will not be present online, regular attendance policy should be followed.
   
• Should emergency/inclement weather conditions interfere with access to virtual classes, DASD may elect to switch to a full-closure, with all classes canceled. In that case, weather make-up days will be utilized per the district calendar schedule.
   
• Additional emergency/inclement weather days beyond the five FIDs will be full closures and all in-person and virtual classes will be canceled In these cases, weather make-up days will be utilized per the district calendar schedule.
