What is SSL? Service-learning is a teaching method that combines meaningful service to the community with curriculum-based learning. Students improve their academic skills by applying what they learn in school to the real world; they then reflect on their experience to reinforce the link between their service and their learning. Students are required to earn 24 service learning hours to graduate.
Submitting Service Learning Hours
Once you have participated in your Service Learning activity, follow these steps:
STEP ONE: Complete the Student Service-Learning Verification Form. You can find copies in the FDHS Counseling Center or the PGCPS Service Learning site.
STEP TWO: Make sure the form is completely filled out with the supervisor's signature, the parent/guardian's signature, and the student's signature.
STEP THREE: Make a copy and/or take a picture of the completed service learning form for your records.
STEP FOUR: Submit your completed Student Service Learning form! Students can submit hours directly to Ms. Major in the Counseling Center. Students can also email a copy of their Student Service Learning to Ms. Major (kimberly.major@pgcps.org) and/or their professional school counselor.
