Dear Marshall Road Families,
Another school year is in the books! And what a year it has been. Thank you for all the support you’ve provided Marshall Road; especially since March 12 when all our worlds seemed to change second by second. Your patience and flexibility went a long way as we learned how to make distance learning a reality for the vast majority of our students. We know we have more learning to do; but knowing you support us as we learn means the world.
While we don’t currently know what the fall will look like, rest assured, we will continue to be committed to doing our very best so our students can be their very best everyday.
Thanks again and have a wonderful summer!
Liz Calvert, Matthew Chapman and Sue Kirby
Summer Learning
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 31.
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. A schedule of office hours by grade level is at the bottom of this email.
If you have any questions about summer Continuity of Learning, please reach out to your child’s teacher. To register your student for office hours and receive a secure link, please complete this form. Once registered, your child will receive log-in information via their FCPS Google email address prior to the first session.
The schedule is as follows:
Kindergarten, Ms. Nezam or Ms. Nusser: Tuesdays, 9:00 - 10:00
Grade 1, Ms. Wallace: Tuesdays, 10:00 - 11:00
Grade 2, Ms. Hudson: Tuesdays, 11:00 - 12:00
