All incoming seventh grade students, as well as students in grades 8-12 that are new to the state, must receive vaccination against Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) and Meningococcal meningitis (MCV4) prior to the start of the 2020-21 school year. The requirements are in place throughout the State of Maryland.

If you have not already done so, parents should contact their doctor to make sure their child is properly immunized and submit a copy of the documentation as soon as possible. Additional information here

Just a reminder that MCPS is currently providing free meals to ALL Children under 18. They do NOT have to be MCPS Students, School age, or eligible for free meals (FARMS). If you or someone you know needs food, click here for a full list of distribution sites.

There are 74 schools and 5 additional bus drop offs on this list. There is also a list of places that weekend food is distributed.
