In general, secondary students can expect to receive one to two meaningful assignments each week in each course and can expect to be working for up to four hours each day.

Please note that the total time students are engaged in learning activities will be determined by course level and the full range of assignments that students receive in all of their subjects.

Students can submit their assignments via Google Classroom, myMCPS classroom or email.

Although teachers will introduce new content and assignments for students to complete, it is important to remember that the work students complete and the feedback teachers provide during this time is not meant to replace the day-to-day instruction that students would have received at school.
