Parent-Teacher Conferences on November 25 and 26
Parents, caregivers, and families are valuable partners in helping our students grow and thrive. In addition to holding conferences with parents/caregivers, we want to continue to have timely, two-way communication with families throughout this school year. For resources to help parents/caregivers with these conferences, please click on the following links--ENGLISH or SPANISH.
Clothing in Our Lost and Found
Although this is not the actual picture of our Lost and Found, our school's collection of lost jackets, sweatshirts, hats, and more continues to grow! Please visit our school on Monday or Tuesday to look through our Lost and Found which will be moved temporarily to our main entrance area. Those who are attending Parent-Teacher Conferences are encouraged to check out this area when you arrive or as you exit the school.
Free Chromebook for Students to Use at Home
Are you interested in receiving a free Chromebook for your child to use at home for academic purposes? If so, please click HERE to fill out the request form. It may take 2-3 weeks for MCPS to process your request, and we will give your child the Chromebook and charger once we receive it.
