Health & Safety Updates
6th Grade Screening Testing
MCPS, in partnership with the Maryland Department of Health, is offering COVID-19 screening tests to students in PreK-Grade 6 at no cost. This individual screening test requires that families “opt-in” and consent for students to be tested. A random sample of students in these grades will be identified and tested on a weekly basis with parental consent. Fully vetted and authorized contractors, not MCPS staff, will administer the tests. The opt-in form below is necessary to allow your child to be a part of this testing process.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. You do not need to be a PTSA member to attend this meeting.
We also want to hear from you, what you need, and your ideas. We are especially interested in student input. In fact, we invite one student from each grade level to join our board and help direct PTSA activities. There are also openings for adult participation in committees and as volunteers at specific events like Book Fair & Color Run! Tell us your passion!
Though we need and welcome volunteers, joining the PTSA requires no commitment; it is a voice of support for our students. Please join to help fulfill the PTSA mission: To make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
Laura Mitchell, Acting Parkland PTSA President
