Each student is financially responsible for damage caused or loss of any Chromebook and charger that is checked out to the student. The device is loaned to the student to be used for instructional purposes only and in accordance with MCPS Regulation IGT-RA, User Responsibilities for Computer Systems, Electronic Information, and Network Security.

No cost is associated for a student to borrow, possess, or use an MCPS Chromebook. A family is only financially responsible when there is avoidable damage to the device. If the device is faulty, there is no charge to the family; however, if the damage is considered avoidable or the device or charger is lost, the family will be charged according to MCPS current parts and replacement costs. For more information, please see the graphic below, linked to the FAQs.

The Montgomery County Commission for Women and Montgomery Women will host a free virtual career guidance session titled “A Virtual Career Exploration for Her" for middle school, high school, and college students.

This event will offer an opportunity for female students to begin exploring careers of their interest that are non-traditional for women. It will give students the opportunity to hear from professional women who will share their experiences, knowledge, and education and relate factors important to entering their line of work.

The panel will include women in careers ranging from fire services, STEM careers, the law, and entrepreneurship.

MCPS students who complete and return a small survey at the end of the event can receive Student Service Learning Hours (SSL Hours)—a maximum of two—for their participation. MCPS students will need to register with a non-MCPS email address.

Pre-registration for the Zoom meeting is required. To register, click here.
