Student Service Learning (SSL) Notes

Give a Little Time…Make a Big Difference
Develop A Sense Of Responsibility
June 2010

- Summer is a great time to get involved in high quality service-learning.  Search the website www.mcpsssl.org to find something that will be meaningful for you.

 - During the summer months when school-based SSL coordinators are not in their buildings SSL questions and requests for preapproval may be referred to Pam Meador 301-279-3454.

 - Students may earn 1 SSL hour for every hour of service during the summer months. (maximum 8 hours in a 24-hour period). 

 - All service for which SSL hours are granted must occur in a public place under the supervision of an adult representing a nonprofit, tax exempt organization.

 - Well-written reflections on MCPS Form 560-51 become part of a student’s permanent record.  Taking time to write a good one is a good idea.
