Summer Virtual Learning Resources
Summer Continuity of Learning (COL)
FCPS school buildings will remain closed through the end of July, but, Kings Glen will continue to provide recommended distance learning opportunities for students throughout the summer.
All students currently in grades K-6 will receive both a Mathematics and a Language Arts Essentials Summer Practice Book in the mail by the end of June. Digital versions of the books will also be posted on the Continuity of Learning Blackboard page. These books will provide recommended practice activities for students to review essential content from the 2019-2020 school year; they are not intended to preview content from next year’s grade level but rather reinforce essential learning from this past year.
As students access these activities from June 29 to July 31, they will have the opportunity to attend one virtual office hour each Wednesday with one of our own outstanding staff members. The schedule is as follows:
- Jennie Hettema (4th Grade) 10:30 AM-11:30 AM
- Samantha Teegarden (5th Grade) 11:00 AM-12:00 PM
- Lisa Rode (6th Grade) 11:30 AM-12:30 PM
Cheryl Clark will be supporting Special Education and Lynne Caza will be supporting English Language Development. Please send an email to @email and your student will be contacted to connect with resources.
All students will be enrolled in the grade level course for the grade they have just completed. Your child will receive log-in information via their FCPS Google email address prior to the first session and each week.
