For the 2024-2025 school year, there are four planned Digital Learning Days (DLDs) scheduled throughout the year for teacher planning/staff development.
- Friday, September 20th, 2024
- Tuesday, November 5th, 2024
- Friday, February 7th, 2025
- Friday, March 14th, 2025
On these days, all students will log into their eCLASS Student Portal and learn from home by completing assignments in their classes (including Specials) at their own pace. In most cases, this will consist of a few hours of work for the students. Students who are unable to complete assignments on these DLDs will be given the opportunity to complete assignments when they return to school. If your student needs a device to use during Digital Learning Days, please communicate this need to your child's teacher and they will send home the GCPS Chromebook checked out to your child.
Note: The GCPS calendar for the 2024-2025 school year does not include designated inclement weather make-up days. GCPS will make up any inclement weather days by using Digital Learning Days (DLDs) and/or extending the school day or year. For more information regarding inclement weather procedures, please visit the GCPS website.
