COVID-19 Policies

We will not be returning for SOAR or Tutorial Classes, and all other FSP activities are canceled until further notice. We are praying this season will be over soon but we can’t predict the future. We are lifting you all up to our Lord for His protection and presence. He is in control of all. Keep checking back here if you are wondering about our COVID-19 policies. We are following all of Governor Hogan’s recommendations and only coming into the office to pick something up or do a quick task. Candy is keeping up with emails from home and continuing to do some office tasks remotely. Please follow our Facebook page Family Schools Program of CLC (https://www.facebook.com/CovLifeFSP/), if you haven’t already. We are posting some fun activities, online classes and seminars that will help you supplement your homeschooling while you are limited in your outside classes and activities. Contact us via email if you need anything. We will continue to support you.

Schedule Your End of Year Review!

You will be hearing from your reviewers soon, if you haven’t already, to schedule your end of year review. Your reviewer will want to see some samples of your student’s work and progress this year. Be sure to print out the grade reports from any online classes your students have taken or any tutorial type class. Have samples of writing, tests from Math and Science, and projects your student has completed ready for your reviewer to see. We want you to feel cared for and not just reviewed so be sure to talk to your reviewer about any issues you are having relating to home schooling. We have wonderful reviewers who have a wealth of knowledge to share. If you don’t hear from your reviewer soon please feel free to reach out to us at the FSP office or to your reviewer. Final reviews and grades should be completed by June 30.
