Dear MCPS Community, Now that we’ve wrapped another school year, let’s celebrate the achievements, the growth, and the indomitable spirit that continue to define our journey. As I traveled to every corner of Montgomery County, visiting nearly a third of our schools over these past nine months, I saw students engaged and learning, and I wish to thank the exceptional educators who persistently go above and beyond to provide high-quality instruction and support.
Our Summer Meals Program is designed to bridge the “nutrition gap” when school is out. Children 18 years old or younger can come to any of the open locations to receive a free nutritious meal during breakfast and lunch at no cost. Meals are served Monday through Friday. No appointment is necessary, however, meals must be eaten at the location.
Montgomery County Public Schools is hiring National Board Certified Teachers. We offer a $10,000 salary increase for teachers in eligible positions. You can receive an additional $7,000 supplement if you work at Carl Sandburg Center, Forest Oak, Loiderman, Montgomery Village, Neelsville and Odessa middle schools, RICA or Watkins Mills elementary school. For more information, contact amy_e_huque@mcpsmd.org.

Students on the traditional school year calendar will return to school on August 28. The two MCPS schools on the innovative schools calendar will return on Monday, July 10.
