Laptops and iPads

Laptops/chargers for grades 1-6 and iPads for kindergarteners are being sent home with all students on Friday, January 23 in anticipation of schools being closed for some amount of time next week.  This technology is to be used at family’s discretion for educational purposes-see below for options.  Please ensure that all technology including chargers are returned to the school when students return to class.

Inclement Weather Days Keep the learning going on at home. Our students have a number of ways to continue their learning online at home. Students should know how to access these programs from their school devices. If you are trying to access these from a personally owned device at home, check out these instructions to help you get connected. All Students: Lexia (interactive reading program) ST Math (individualized math program) MyON (wide selection of ebooks) Library Databases (independent research & learning, including Pebble Go, National Geographic Kids, World Book Kids, and the TumbleBooks ebook library) Any Schoology assignments or activities their teachers have posted

Winter Resources for Families

A list of resources has been compiled for students and families in case they or someone they know needs assistance while schools are closed for winter weather. Please visit FCPS’ winter resources page for information on academic support, mental health support, and county resources related to food, clothing, housing, and other needs.

Even If School Is Closed, Learning Can Continue!

We encourage students to take advantage of fun learning opportunities during snow or inclement weather days. Consider these winter activities to blend education and play at home.
