We are excited to announce that the Office of Family Engagement in the Department of Federal Programs, in collaboration with the Directors of Teaching and Learning, is providing videos and handouts for all GCPS families in elementary schools to help prevent the summer slide.

The ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies Directors recorded instructional videos highlighting resources and activities for families to support their children at home over the summer. The videos are posted in the GCPS "Engage Equip Empower" series website (bottom of the page). Captions are available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, and Chinese. Please see the links below for the handouts and the videos.

Did you know that Imagine Learning Language & Literacy is available to your child at home this summer at no cost to you? Your child can access Imagine Language and Literacy through a web browser at login.imaginelearning.com using any computer or tablet. Your child can log in with the site code 1302550. Please see the enclosed flyer for information about the Imagine Learning contest going on from May 23 through July 17, 2024. Twenty students will win a gift card at the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year!

Students can keep their skills sharp this summer with self-paced, digital support opportunities! Digital summer support will be available to K-8 students from June 3rd to July 5th on the Digital Summer Support eCLASS page.

On the Student Portal, go to Additional Resources to find a link for Digital Summer Support.

Once on the Digital Summer Support eCLASS page, students and families will find information on the two digital platforms available to support learning over the summer.

Students will be able to launch their learning, using one or more of these platforms:

● Amplify offers practice in reading; and

● iReady supports mathematics.

Students do not need to complete work in both platforms. Each platform will provide K-8 students with targeted learning opportunities in reading or mathematics, using the student’s answers to determine areas in which they need more help.

These digital tools are a great way to keep students connected and learning at their own pace during the summer!

No Cost Eye Exams and Prescription Glasses (If Needed)

GCPS Tech Tips is a place where GCPS educators offer quick tips and tricks for technology integration in the classroom. Each week, a new video will be released which focuses on how to effectively use your Chromebook and other tips/tricks. Check out the entire playlist here.

Get a household chore done and sharpen your child’s math skills at the same time! Ask your child to sort and chart the laundry—before or after washing.

While your child sorts, ask: How many socks? How many pairs of socks? How many towels? Are there more washcloths than towels? Are there fewer pairs of pants than shirts?

Have your child keep a tally of different types of laundry items. Then together, compare totals from week to week. Did the family use more towels this week than last week, or fewer?
