Return to School Framework Discussed with Community / Watch Again

MCPS hosted a virtual conversation on Thursday, Nov. 12 for the community on the framework for the return of students to in-person learning beginning January 2021. The virtual conversation answered questions live from viewers and district administrators spent more than 90 minutes speaking to the details of the framework. Critically important for families is to review the Guide to Help Determine Family Preference document then indicate their selection in the Family Preference Survey (both items linked below).

Complete the Parent Survey by Dec. 3

Starting Nov. 11, parents will be asked to complete this short survey to indicate whether their child(ren) will remain exclusively in a virtual learning environment or engage in a combination of in-person and virtual instruction during the second semester. Both options would allow students to participate in in-person athletics and extracurricular activities. Parents will also be asked to indicate if their child needs MCPS-provided transportation.

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

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.
