Library Books
Thank you to all families who returned library books. If you still have one of our 1,003 current check-outs, please keep it in a safe place until school reopens. We will happily take returns at that time with no penalties.
If your child is moving on to another FCPS school, you may return your book to that school. Those books will be returned to the Fairhill Library for you.
If your child will not be attending an FCPS school in the fall and still have a Fairhill Library book, please contact Mrs. Howard at lghoward@fcps.edu
Questions? Please email Mrs. Howard, Fairhill ES school librarian

Summer Continuity of Learning
FCPS has announced that elementary school students will have the opportunity to review concepts and skills using self-directed print and digital materials from the county.
Print materials will be sent to families, one time, after the conclusion of the school year. Digital curriculum and resources for additional review and enrichment will be available on FCPS 24/7 Learning.
There will be one teacher for each grade level (not necessarily your child's current or future teacher) that will have weekly office hours from June 29-July 31, 2020 to provide feedback and support to students in literacy and mathematics.
If you are interested in having contact with a teacher for feedback and support in literacy or math this summer, please complete this form by Thursday, June 11th. A teacher will then be in touch with more information before June 29th.
(Please complete a single form for each child.)
Summer and Student Links
FCPS school buildings will remain closed through the end of July. Therefore, we will continue to provide recommended distance learning opportunities for students throughout the summer. Your students will have access to skill practice through the iReady digital lessons through the FCPS public Universal Screener website. Students will need to enter their FCPS login credentials to access these resources. These digital activities will be available until Friday, July 31st.
In addition, students will still have access to their online accounts. Please see the Fairhill Student Website tab for links to all student websites.
