Second Semester Adjustments and Options for Secondary Schedules

In response to feedback about virtual learning at the secondary level, adjustments are being made to improve the student/teacher experience in virtual learning, promote student well-being, and provide flexible options for student schedules. These adjustments for the second semester are in addition to adjustments that went into effect for the second marking period.

In middle and high schools, schedule adjustments for second semester include opportunities to:

-Request an abbreviated schedule to lighten course load and take a course over the summer or in future semesters instead.
-Take up to two courses Credit/No Credit (also known as Pass/Fail) instead of a letter grade, in courses not specifically required for graduation.

MCPS COVID-19 Data Dashboard

Surging COVID-19 infection rates across the nation and in our region have required school districts across the country to revise and adjust recovery plans for the start of the 2020-2021 school year. MCPS remains committed to follow applicable guidelines from the Maryland Department of Health, our local health department, and the CDC for safe reopening of in-person instruction. The purpose of this dashboard is to provide the Montgomery county community with identified health metrics that will guide our conversations about the safe return to in-person learning.

equity journey
 

MCPS Equity Journey

Race, ethnicity, and culture play a powerful role in teaching, leading, and learning. For many years, MCPS has worked actively to provide a rigorous, meaningful education to students, but the fact remains that not all students achieve at the same high levels. The MCPS equity journey claims, boldly, that a public education must serve all students and this belief is central to district values, strategic planning and budgeting. Learn more

Virtual Civility
 

MCPS Virtual Civility

Parents and guardians play a critical role in student learning and achievement and their support is particularly important during virtual learning. As teachers are working remotely and children are learning in their homes, occasional disruptions may occur. However, the online classroom is in fact a classroom, and it is important that it’s treated as such.
