WELCOME BACK!
Welcome to the 2020-21 school year! I look forward to serving the teachers, staff, students, and families of FHS this year. As you begin to plan for the new year, keep in mind that there are many ways I can help you including:
- Information Specialist: Let me know what topics you are covering and I can help you find interesting online programs, database resources, audio books and ebooks.
- Instructional Technology Support: Want to better support your curriculum with technology? Need technology PD? Need help with Google Classroom and other Google tools? Let me know your individual or team needs for instructional technology.
Remember to look at the Flushing High School Guide for Distance Learning for the latest updates.
