Summer Learning Opportunities 

Dear parents/guardians, 

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. 

Additionally, students currently in grades K-6 will receive both a Mathematics and a Language Arts Essentials Summer Practice Book in the mail by the end of June. Digital versions of the books will also be posted on the Continuity of Learning Blackboard page. These books will provide recommended practice activities for students to review essential content from the 2019-2020 school year; they are not intended to preview content from next year’s grade level but rather reinforce essential learning from this past year. 

As students access these activities from June 29 to July 31, they will have the opportunity to attend one virtual office hour each week with one of our own outstanding staff members.

Directions for picking up student items

All families with students in grades K-5 are scheduled for Friday, June 12th. 

Please begin to collect library books, teacher issued book bags, patrol belts, and band/strings instruments. For any student moving out of FCPS who was issued a computer we will be collecting it at this time.

1. Please place a paper with your student’s first and last name on your dashboard or passenger side window where it is clearly visible to staff. If you have multiple children, please list all names so they are legible.
2. Stay in your vehicle and follow the direction of NSES staff.
3. Using the entrance to the parking lot, follow the kiss and ride traffic pattern.
4. Staff will meet each family curbside with your student’s belongings. Please have your back-car door unlocked or your trunk open so we may deliver student belongings without contact.
5. After retrieving student items pull forward to door #2 where you will drop off any items you are returning. (library books, instruments, patrol belts, and any other school item)
6. Once your items are loaded and you have dropped anything you are returning off, follow the traffic pattern to exit the parking lot.

FAQS

1. Can someone else pick up my child’s bag?  Unfortunately, no we need to ensure student items are returned directly to their families.
2. If I live across the street can I ride my bike or walk to pick up if I wear a mask and gloves?  Due to health and safety guidelines, you must come for curbside pick-up in your car.
3. Will I see my teacher?  Possibly, teachers are invited to your grade level pick up time and many will be there to wave good-bye to you for the summer.
4. Should people in the car have on masks and or gloves?  It is your preference if you want to wear masks/gloves in your car.
5. Will teachers/staff be wearing gloves/masks?  Yes, all staff members assisting with this process will have on face masks and gloves.
