Summer courses provide additional academic opportunities

Several courses through the FCPS Online Campus are offered for students over the summer

From Tech Adventures Camps to Work-Based Learning Internships, the Fairfax County Summer Learning Program through the online campus allows students to get ahead in the upcoming school and refine their skillset.

Many of the courses offered are made up of live daily lessons in addition to asynchronous assignments for a letter or pass/fail grade. While course cost varies depending on one’s financial situation, most summer classes cost $375 and $475 for those out of the country. ACE Online provides specifics about the variety of course offerings.

“There are a plethora of interesting classes students can take part in during the summer months to gain more knowledge in just a few weeks,” freshman Tina Lin said. “For example, ‘Exploring the Language of Medicine’ provides career development for those looking to earn future skills.” 

A popular course includes Economics and Personal Finance, as this class is necessary to earn either the Standard or Advanced diploma. In the course, students learn about the responsibilities of consumers, how markets operate and how the U.S. is connected to the global economy. 

“Learning macroeconomic policies, such as supply and demand and interest rates are so useful because they apply skills to the real world and your future career,” senior Sharlette Vijoy said.

Those interested can take the class self-directed or non self-directed. The self-directed course takes place from Monday, June 5 to Friday, July 28. On their own, students must read through 14 modules and complete 140 exit tickets, 14 module tests and one final exam. After completion, students receive a pass or fail credit.

 In contrast, the non self-directed course takes place with daily live sessions, assignments and assessments. The course can be taken for a letter grade or pass/fail. 

“Self-directed and non self-directed classes both have their benefits,” Vijoy said. “However, the virtual format of the self-directed course gave me the freedom to complete the lessons at times that worked best for me.”  

FCPS also offers five different math classes over the summer, such as Algebra 1, Geometry and Geometry Honors. As such, many students take advantage of this opportunity to get ahead. The expectation for these classes is that students work six to seven hours daily on their own in addition to the synchronous lesson. Also, several of these classes require the completion of a midterm, final and SOL.  

“There are so many levels of math at school,” junior Rhea Rajmanna said. “For those interested, taking a math class over the summer can help them get ahead and partake in higher math classes such as Multivariable Calculus in their junior or senior year.”

Others choose to be involved in classes that don’t have a large focus on traditional academics. For example, Health and Physical Education 10 consists of a driver’s education unit that focuses on teaching students to become proficient motorists along with a unit that shows how to carry out a crafted fitness and wellness plan. 

“Summer P.E. provides me extra course space for next year and helps me complete the gym requirement,” Lin said. “Also, I think the class can help me stay fit throughout an otherwise lazy summer.”

Furthermore, students may opt to complete a language over the summer months. While FCPS hopes to incorporate more languages, several take either Spanish 2, which focuses on written and oral communication, or Spanish 3, which places an emphasis on crafting complex language structures on a variety of topics.

“I enjoyed taking Spanish 3 during the summer because of the teacher and how well the class was organized,” Rajmanna said. “I got the chance to interact with other students while completing reading and writing assignments.”  

Those looking for more information about the summer courses can visit FCPS to learn more about the specific programs. The website also provides information about different pricing plans and dates for exams. 

“It’s important that students take the initiative to do some form of learning over the summer,” Rajmanna said. “Whether it’s structured, like a supervised course, or self-study, it’s beneficial to do some learning over the summer to help retain knowledge from previous years and avoid learning loss.”

DC high-schooler wins national Doodle for Google competition with portrait of ‘super chaotic’ family dinners

A D.C. high school graduate won the 2024 Doodle for Google competition , with her design gracing the homepage of the search engine website on Wednesday, June 26.

The Doodle for Google contest calls for students to submit creative versions of the Google logo based on a theme. This year’s theme tasked students with representing their wish for the next 25 years through art.

Maisie Derlega, who graduated from Jackson-Reed High School only a week ago , won the national competition top prize of $55,000 in scholarship money and a $50,000 technology package for her former high school.

Congratulations to our very own Jackson-Reed High School Class of 2024 graduate, Maisie Derlega. She is this year’s @GoogleDoodles national winner! Maisie will receive a $55,000 college scholarship from @Google and Jackson-Reed will receive a $50,000 technology package. 👏 https://t.co/Ay53BJfzAe — DC Public Schools (@dcpublicschools) June 26, 2024

Derlega told WTOP in May, when she won the statewide Google competition , that her design took her over 35 hours to complete on her iPad and was inspired by her extended family’s “super chaotic” Sunday dinners.

The weekly dinners began a little after the pandemic, when her extended family in the area, including aunts and uncles and 1-, 3- and 5-year-old cousins, would gather around the dinner table to catch up on their weeks and share the delicious food her father cooked.

“It’s really, really fun. And it’s something that I really look forward to,” Derlega said. “My wish for the next 25 years was not for any changes, but more kind of a consistent, to continue having those dinners. Because they mean a lot to me.”

She says that the dinner spawned a group chat and a standing invitation for anyone to come over each Sunday, which has made her feel closer to her family and family friends. The doodle is a window into those dinners, with the evening golden hour illuminating a table full of food and motioning hands.

“I feel like people talk with their hands a lot. And like, there’s always so much happening, like every single person is doing something different,” she explained. “The focus was to kind of show the community that forms around it. And around food, which is something that’s really important to my family, my dad’s a chef.”

Food has always been an integral part of Derlega’s childhood, especially after her father became a chef when she was in fourth grade. Now, he’s a private chef working across D.C. and uses food to express his love for his family.

“I feel like growing up, the way I really connected with my dad was through food. Especially because we’re both kind of creative types. And that’s kind of how we express ourselves,” she said. “I would do a lot of the baking and he would do a lot of the cooking. And so we were in the kitchen together.”

Even thought this doodle was inspired by a tradition specific to her family, Derlega hopes people across the nation can see their own “loved ones” in the art piece.

“I just really wanted to capture that kind of sense of chaos, but also, you know, mutual love and appreciation for each other,” she said. “I also kind of want to tell a larger story of just the importance of family and community, and kind of getting together.”

This is the first time Derlega took part in the Google competition, but she told WTOP in May that she thought the contest was “an incredible way to put yourself out there” and that she hoped to continue her artistic journey no matter how the competition turned out.

Derlega announced Wednesday on NBC’s “Today” show that she will be attending the University of Michigan to study art and design. She hopes to one day create illustrations for media and news organizations.
