Dear Fischer High School Students,
Posnack School will be closing its main campus, effective Monday, March 16. Online teaching for high school students will begin on Tuesday, March 17, and will run indefinitely until further notice.
The learning will continue via an online platform through Canvas. All high school teachers and students have been trained on how to use Canvas for online learning. This system will be most successful if our students are mindful of the procedures and expectations that have been set forth below.
