Provide Summer Resources online for students and families — GCPS has compiled a number of online reading/language arts and mathematics resources for students and will make those resources available on a Summer Resources web page. These resources will be helpful for students recommended for summer school, as well as all other students. These resources include a variety of engaging technology tools and hands-on activities for your child to complete alone or with your assistance. Please visit our website or go to https://www.gcpsk12.org/gcpslearningresources to begin accessing these resources.
We encourage you to utilize the online resources that are available to help support your student’s learning and readiness for next school year.
