Dear Wyngate Families,

We hope this note finds you and your family well after the end of a very different school year. The purpose of this email is to share with you a variety of summer learning opportunities for students. These are completely optional and virtual, and will be available from July 13-31. Please take a moment to review course offerings below and then use the registration link if you would like to sign your child up to participate. You may select one, two, or three course options. Confirmation will be sent via email and is dependent upon enrollment. Most teachers will be Wyngate staff, however we will likely have other MCPS teachers join us for the summer depending upon course enrollment. Registration will be open through June 30, 2020.

Neither have we (as an income 3rd grade family). I was wondering if maybe they didn’t have contact information for us, as we are new to the school (coming from Rosemary Hills), or if current families also have not heard about summer options.
