Halley Summer Learning

FCPS school buildings will remain closed through the end of July. Therefore, we will continue to provide recommended distance learning opportunities for students throughout the summer. 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 week with one of our own outstanding staff members. Students must be registered to receive the secure link to participate in office hours. The office hours schedule for each grade level by teacher is as follows:

  • Kindergarten, Sylvia Song:  Tuesdays -9:00am-10:00am
  • Grade 1, Cathy Mullins:  Mondays – 9:00am – 10:00am
  • Grade 2, Abby Demers:  Mondays - 11:00am -12:00pm
  • Grade 3, Laura Hernandez:  Tuesdays – 10:00am – 11:00am
  • Grade 4, Najma Khan:  Wednesdays – 9:00am – 10:00am
  • Grade 5, Kathy Duchaney:  - Thursdays- 10:00am – 11:00am

Other Information:

  • The workbooks will be organized in "sections" so that teachers can communicate which pages/lessons might be focused on for that specific week's office hours.
  • Answer guides will also be posted digitally to support teachers and parents.
  • Both Math and LA will target essential skills and concepts that review 2019-2020 grade level curriculum and focus on independent student practice.
