KJMS Rising 7th and 8th Grade Summer Math Support
To help students prepare for the upcoming school year and support a successful transition into their mathematics courses, KJMS is providing optional Summer Math Packets for students enrolled in the following courses for the 2026–2027 school year:
- Pre-Algebra / Pre-Algebra Honors
- Algebra / Algebra Honors
- Geometry
- Algebra 2
These packets are designed to help students review key concepts and build confidence before beginning a rigorous math course in the fall. While completion of the packets is optional, we strongly encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity.
The packets are available on the KJMS website and printed copies may be picked up from the KJMS Main Office during summer hours (Monday–Thursday, 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.).
For students enrolled at KJMS (rising 7th and 8th graders) for the 2026-2027 school year, KJMS math teachers will provide targeted assistance from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. on the following Thursdays:
Support sessions will be structured as follows:
- 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. – In-person support at KJMS
- 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. – Virtual support via Zoom (Zoom link will be shared with families in a separate email)
Each packet includes an answer key so students can check their own work and monitor their progress. Students are expected to complete the work independently and follow all directions provided in the packet. We recommend that the packet be completed with minimal calculator assistance, particularly for students enrolled in honors courses.
We hope these resources help students maintain their math skills over the summer and feel prepared for a strong start in the fall. If you have any questions, please contact the KJMS main office, 703-934-2400.
Beginning July 28, FCPS will ask parents and students to install the new ParentVUE and StudentVUE apps. The current (classic) apps will remain available for approximately six months to support the transition. During this time, the classic apps will keep prompting users to upgrade to the new apps.
The new login screen for both apps will display User Name and Password fields, with a Login FCPS SSO button below them. Using the Login FCPS SSO provides a more secure sign-in experience.
Students will continue to use their existing FCPS username and password.
Below are links with instructions on installing the new apps and details about the updated login experience:
Support: Parents needing assistance should submit a Parent Support Request.
