White Oak MS students and parents participated in a program at the University of Maryland, College Park; students from Roberto Clemente and Sligo middle schools also visited the College Park campus. Banneker Middle School students visited Morgan State University, and Morgan State officials came to Julius West MS to discuss college admissions and options.
School System Recognizes Pupil Personnel Workers
The school system’s 47 pupil personnel workers were recognized during Pupil Personnel Worker Week May 5–9 for the essential role they play in MCPS. Pupil personnel workers provide a bridge between home and school, serve as advocates for students and their families, and identify services and resources to help students succeed academically.
