Parents and caregivers - Please send your students with a refillable, reusable water bottle every day. Hydration is an important part of learning and staying healthy. There are refilling stations throughout the school to ensure your student has access to water all day. Please ensure your student is eating breakfast and lunch whether it is a meal from our school cafeteria or a meal packed from home. Take a look at MCPS October 2024 breakfast and lunch menu by visiting the websites below:

Any requests for early dismissal or dismissal changes for your child cannot be accommodated after 2:45 PM. This cut-off time is necessary to ensure the safety and efficient operation of our school dismissal process.

We understand that there may be occasions when you need to make changes to your child's dismissal plan, but after 2:45 PM, it becomes increasingly challenging to implement these changes without causing disruptions. Please make sure to communicate any changes or early dismissal requests to the school's office well in advance of this time to allow us to make the necessary arrangements.

We expect that families dropping off and picking up students will adhere to the same expectations. These expectations are:

• Follow directions from Argyle staff, including stopping when indicated
• Pull as far forward as possible so that cars can fill in along the drop off and pick up line next to the school grounds; do not stop in the middle of this space near the handicap parking spaces
• Be prepared to drop off and pick up so that cars can move quickly
• Do not use parking spaces for drop off or pick up at any time
• Stay in your vehicle at all times
• Students should only exit and enter their car from the side of the parking lot next to the school building; students should not cross through the parking lot

Drivers who consistently disregard these expectations may be asked not to use the drop off and pick up areas. We appreciate your support in keeping our parking lot safe at all times.

Montgomery County Public Schools has transitioned to a new online payment system called SchoolCash Online as its preferred method of payment for all school-related fees.

SchoolCash Online helps parents/guardians and community members pay school-related fees safely, quickly, and easily. SchoolCash Online will help increase efficiency and security at schools by making payments directly into schools’ bank accounts and eliminating the need for teachers to handle money. In addition, once registered, you will be immediately informed about school activities!

The new system puts all of the school-related fees online for purchase so users can make purchases online using a credit card or e-check. A processing fee will be included on all items available for purchase, regardless of the type of payment used on SchoolCash Online or at the school.
