Hello Cougar Families

It's finally here - Monday is the first day of school! We're so excited to see our students! We've all worked hard this week to prepare our halls and classrooms. We've missed you and we are looking forward to a great school year!

All students will start in the gym Monday morning with staff and administration. We will dismiss to grade levels and students will receive schedules later in the morning.

Registration

All MCPS students are required to submit registration online. We have just a handful of families that have not finished. Make sure to complete that ASAP. You can check out our website for Enrollment Help - we've created step by step instructions https://cms.mauryk12.org/58134_2 If you need help with your parentvue account, please contact our office or send an email to mshamburg@mauryk12.org

Proof of Current Address

MCPS requires 3 proofs of your current address along with yearly registration. This is required - even if you have not moved! We have about 75 families that still need to follow through. You may drop them off in the office or email to mshamburg@mauryk12.org

Bus Information

Transportation has rolled out a new app for bus information. You'll be able to track the bus in real time, see bus stop location and times. Please make sure you down load the app now, so it will be ready for you Monday morning. The app is MyRideK12 and we have instructions on our website if you need help https://cms.mauryk12.org/58142_2

Our school office does not have additional information, everything is contained within the app.
