Summer Math Challenge

Participate in a free six-week online math skills maintenance program designed for students who have just completed grades 1-8. The 2021 Challenge will support student learning at home and offers daily emails with fun activities and links to educational resources at each student’s ability level. Parents can monitor their child's progress and generate weekly badges and a certificate to celebrate accomplishments. Sign up for the Summer Math Challenge at the Lexile and Quantile Hub.


School Supply Lists

SCHOOL SUPPLY LISTS ARE IN! School supply lists for next year for each grade have been updated. Check them out here. Please note: we are not doing pre-ordered school supplies via Sprout this year. 


FH Digital Summer Resources

This year students and staff utilized Imagine Learning, Pioneer Valley, ST Math, and other digital resources. All current students will continue to have access to programs for most of the summer. Moving forward, the County has renewed our contracts for next school year.

 

Our FHES Digital Learning Tools webpage, https://freedomhilles.fcps.edu/digital-learning-tools, provides quick access for students.


Schoology Transition

Fairfax County Public Schools’ contract with Blackboard ends on June 30. The new learning management system is Schoology (pronounced /SKOO-luh-jee/). Schoology is a learning space that enhances communication, collaboration, and personalized learning for students, teachers, and families. Schoology will be used division-wide starting in July.

Schoology was chosen to: 

  • Support and implement instructional practices aligned to our learning model.  
  • Help students reach the Portrait of a Graduate goals.
  • Provide all students with equitable access to meaningful learning experiences.
  • Offer anytime access to their virtual learning space.

Students will have a Schoology account by June 18.

  • Students use their FCPS student ID and password to login to Schoology.
  • Students will not see any classes until the grading period starts.

As a parent or guardian, you will be able to use Schoology to view:

  • Your child’s class. 
  • Your child’s assignments and participation.
  • Your child’s calendar.
  • Teacher comments, scores, and feedback.

Parent accounts will be available in mid-August. To access Schoology, parents will need to have an active SIS/ParentVUE account. 

More information about Schoology is available online
