Emergency Preparedness

    • MCPS is using the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) to respond to emergencies and crisis situations. We will review safety procedures, share resources and conduct drills throughout the school year to ensure preparedness.

    Refrigerator Curriculum

    • Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) has introduced the Refrigerator Curriculum—a one-page, easy-to-read overview of what students will be learning each marking period. Designed for the fridge at home, these guides help families stay informed about key themes and texts while highlighting MCPS’ commitment to partnering with families, celebrating our community’s diversity, and respecting individual beliefs.
    • With this resource, parents and guardians can quickly see what’s ahead in the classroom, stay engaged in their child’s education, and, if needed, request alternative assignments when a text conflicts with sincerely held religious views.
    • Documents can be found here.
    • MCPS Regulation IFD-RA, Curriculum Transparency and Requests to Be Excused from Instruction can be found here.
