About the U Drive

The U Drive consists of two folders:
the Staff folder
the Student folder
Previously, you could find math resources on the FCPS Teach website or the elementary math website. You can still find all previous resources and links on the FCPS Teach/Elementary Math website for the 2010 school year and prior as an archived site.
Currently materials for 2011- 2012 will not be uploaded to this site, the U drive will take the place of this.
Teachers do not have rights to save or make changes to materials on the U drive.
You are however permitted to upload files/materials for Curriculum Specialist review under the following folder:
U > Staff > Submissions> Elementary > Math
In the staff folder you will be able to find curriculum specific folders that house curricular materials.
Materials for elementary math could include but not limited to:
ActivInspire flipcharts
Word Documents
Movie files
