Welcome to
Student Service Learning Hours (SSL)

Give a Little Time, Make a Big Difference
2011-2012

All forms for Student Service Learning hours (SSL) performed during June through August are due no later than Friday, September 30. If you are continuing to participate with the same organization during the first semester, you still must submit your summer hours by this deadline. You will complete another form for hours served September through December. There are three deadlines with SSL:
  • September 30th for all summer hours
  • January 6th for Sept-Dec hours
  • June 3rd for Jan -May hours
    • Put these on your calendar!

    SSL: Enhances Academic Learning
  • All SSL activities must be documented on MCPS Form 560-51, Student Service Learning Activity Verification and turned in to the school SSL coordinator according to timelines.
  • Students should keep copies of all SSL documents that they turn into the school or community representatives.
  • Organizations and opportunities not listed at www.mcpsssl.org must be pre approved using MCPS Form 560-50, Request for SSL Preapproval.
  • Students may address hunger and homelessness in Montgomery County by preparing bag lunches and dinners in their homes for delivery to homeless facilities. This is an exception to the guideline that all service must occur in a public place. Check out the details at the Questions and Answers section at Student Service Learning.
  • Stay aware of ways to become involved in the Montgomery County Community Service Day this month.
