Summer Learning Opportunity

FCPS is excited to announce Summer Bridge, an online/virtual, continuous learning opportunity for students for summer 2020! Independent learning for students, preschool through 8th grade!  FCPS will offer games and incentives as students and families meet their goals. Students can reduce math and language literacy learning gaps by participating in continued learning through the summer. Our goal is for students to begin the 2020-21 school year with increased confidence in their skills.  

Summer Bridge is designed to be an independent learning opportunity for students. While adults might need to help younger students log in to the portal initially, the online lessons are self-contained and meant to require little or no involvement from parents or caregivers. A grade level teacher contact will be assigned to help support your student.

Students will need access to a computer, an internet connection, and paper and pencils. If you have concerns about access to needed materials, please include your concerns in the comments section of the registration form below. 

Here's the link for parents to sign up, registration is due by 5/22/2020
