Spots fill quickly—don’t miss out on a summer of learning, laughter, and growth! 🌟

We're committed to providing every student with the tools and opportunities they need to thrive both during the school year and over the summer.     

This summer, all students in FCPS will be allowed to check out a technology device that will support continued growth.  This will ensure continued access to tools such as ST Math, Lexia and Benchmark Universe that allow students to work at their own pace and level. Programs like these adapt to each child's needs, providing extra support in areas where they're building skills and advancing them when they're ready for more challenges. This opportunity will allow students to continue their personalized learning at home, to develop digital literacies and important routines around managing their technology.

If you would like this opportunity for your child, please complete this Google Form.

You will then receive confirmation from our School Based Technology Specialist, Nicole Sandrowicz.

Have questions? Please contact Nicole Sandrowicz on Talking Points or through email at nesandrowicz@fcps.edu.
