Summer Continuity of Learning
FCPS school buildings will remain closed through the end of July. FCPS will continue to provide recommended distance learning opportunities for students throughout the summer. 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, 2020..
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 June 29. The ESOL (English for speakers of other languages) and special education offices are also developing practice books that will be mailed to select students and posted to FCPS 24-7. 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. Practice books are expected to arrive at the end of June and will be posted to the FCPS 24-7 Learning Distance Learning Support site by June 29.
As students access these activities from June 29 to July 31, they will have the opportunity to attend one virtual office hour each week. If you would like for your student to participate in office hours, use this link to sign up:

Keep Laptop Through the Summer
Students who have borrowed a computer from Westlawn may keep the computer through the summer to use for Continuity of Summer Learning. If a student is moving this summer and needs to return the computer, notify Nelda Hirji at njhirji@fcps.edu
We hope you continue to stay safe, remain healthy and stay positive in spirit. Have a good summer. Thank you for your continuing support. Embrace hope!
