Math Summer Boot Camp at Robinson SS
August 9 - 12, 2021
Robinsons Secondary’s Math Department would like to invite your student to register for and attend one of our Math Boot Camps this summer. These three-hour sessions for 4 days will help students refine fundamental prerequisite math skills needed to be successful in the math course in which they are enrolled for the upcoming school year. As you know, high school mathematics courses are extremely challenging, and our Math Boot Camp will help alleviate some of the pressures these difficult courses may create.

Course Selection Confirmation
Parents, last week you should have received a letter that included your student’s course selections for the 2021-2022 school year. This is not their actual schedule, but a list of classes that they are enrolled in for next year. Please review the letter and courses with your child. While every effort is made to accommodate students’ first elective choices, we cannot guarantee placement in any particular elective course until the student’s schedule is finalized in August.
Also, if you will be moving or changing schools over the summer, please complete the intent form and send that to Melanie Knowlton (maknowlton@fcps.edu).
If you need any help with the course selections, please reach out to the appropriate counselor.
