Share Your Thoughts on Opportunities for Students When School Is Not in Session

Are you aware that there are fun activities and opportunities available for students on non-instructional days? MCPS would like to know what the experience was like for those who participated and, for those who did not, what opportunities they would take advantage of.

Parents and guardians in Grades 4 through 11 are invited to complete this survey to help improve next year’s program. The survey will be open through June 30.

MCPS piloted the Out-of-School Time program to provide students and families with engaging options for students on days when school was not in session. These in-person and/or virtual activities supported academic skills, physical and emotional wellness, art and digital learning skills. Learn more about the program.

Help a Student In Need by Donating to Annual GIVE BACKpacks Campaign

Consider donating to the 11th annual MCPS GIVE BACKpacks campaign to support the distribution of backpacks and school supplies to students in MCPS schools.

We need your support, now more than ever, as the cost per backpack with supplies has increased to $15 due to supply chain and inflation issues and we have even more students who will need help accessing school supplies this fall. MCPS places orders throughout the summer with a goal of providing as many students as possible with a backpack with school supplies at the start of the school year.
