MCPS Information in Other Languages
Speakers of languages other than English can now find information about
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) in one click from the MCPS Web site's
home page.
Web sites have been created in Chinese, French, Korean,
Spanish and Vietnamese to enable non-English-speaking families to more easily
find news, documents and information about services.
Links to the
sites can be found just below the featured story on the MCPS home page.
Each site also can be accessed at the following Web
addresses:
www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/chinese
www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/spanish
www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/french
www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/vietnamese
www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/korean
Each
language site links to the Navigating the System guide for parents, Parent
Connection newsletter and Aim High booklets. Each site also features links to streaming video of the Our Schools Today TV program and to the QuickNotes
e-mail newsletter. Visitors also will find links to Web sites for English as
a Second Language/Bilingual Programs, the Downcounty Consortium and the
Middle School Magnet Consortium.
This is the first phase of a project to
improve access to information in other languages on the MCPS Web site.
Information and links on these sites will grow in future months.Suggestions
and comments can be e-mailed to the Web Services Team at
webmaster@mcpsmd.org.
Viewers of these sites should be sure their Web
browser is set to view Web pages in Unicode UTF-8, the international
standard. In Internet Explorer, go to View in the dropdown menu, pull down to
Encoding, and select Unicode UTF-8. Viewing of English Web pages is
not impacted, so users can keep their browsers at this setting at all
times.
