Summer School Registration Opens in March

Summer school registration for high school opens on Monday, March 9. For information about registration, students should see their school counselor. 

Changes are coming to this year’s programs. MCPS will implement a four-day week — 8 a.m.-2:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday.

The high school program will run from July 7–21 and July 23–Aug. 6. Breakfast and lunch will be provided, transportation is available, and tuition is $364.25 for students taking courses for original credit or grade improvement. Reduced fees are available for eligible students.

Safety Measures at Our Schools

As things occur in our MCPS community, it makes us pause to review our common expectations and shared responsibility on safety and security protocols are our school.

Student IDs: Students must have their physical ID every day and must show them every time they enter our building. If your student is in need of a physical ID, they must go to room 1003 before school or during lunch.

Attendance to classes: Students must be on time to school and all classes.

Lunch: We are a closed lunch campus. Students must remain in the building for the entirety of their school.

MCPS Emergency Preparedness Protocols

Please take some time to review the protocols and the outlined expectations for each of us (staff, students, and parents/guardians).
