U-Md. Summer Classes

The six summer sessions include two six-week sessions and four three-week sessions. The three-week sessions have been expanded in 2001 so that students can take courses they need and still have time to pursue internships, summer employment or vacations.

Students can apply for admission and register for summer credit courses by visiting www.spoc.umd.edu. For more information, call 301-314-3572 or 877-989-SPOC.

Park-School Dedication

The new Perrywood-Kettering Community Park-School Center will be dedicated April 21. The ceremony will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The school is at 501 Watkins Park Dr. in Largo.

"We are inviting students, parents, elected officials and community members to join us during this momentous occasion," school board member Robert J. Callahan said. "Not only are we celebrating the opening of a new elementary school, but new school construction and capital improvements countywide."

The completion of Perrywood-Kettering Community Park-School Center has allowed more than 750 students, who were temporarily housed at the Belair facility in Bowie for more than three years, to relocate to their original neighborhood. Perrywood Elementary was designed as an addition to the recently completed Kettering-Largo Community Center.

After the dedication by Superintendent Iris T. Metts, visitors will be able to go on a self-guided tour of the new facility.
