MCPS Health & Safety
Montgomery County Public Schools is posting student report cards for the first marking period in ParentVue beginning today. Some students across the school district who experienced quarantine and virtual learning days are seeing those days marked as absences. This is an error and all affected student accounts will be fixed in the coming days.
Once this issue has been corrected and any absences reported in error are recalculated, new report cards will be generated. Staff is working to complete this work as quickly as possible.
We apologize for this error and any confusion it may have caused. If you have questions or see incorrectly reported absences in your child’s report card in the coming days, please contact your teacher or a school administrator.
For more information about grading and reporting, visit this website.
COVID-19 Testing Will Help Reduce Quarantine and Keep Students and Staff Safe
One significant mitigation tactic MCPS is using is random COVID-19 screening tests and rapid testing across grades. MCPS, in partnership with the Maryland Department of Health, is offering COVID tests to students at no cost. Testing requires parent permission; one form provides consent for both tests.
Screening Testing: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends random asymptomatic COVID-19 testing because it detects and can limit the spread of the virus, even in the absence of visible symptoms.
Rapid Testing: Staff from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) will determine whether a COVID-19 rapid test should be administered when a student presents to a health room with potential COVID-19 symptoms.
Parents/guardians only need to fill out one form to provide consent for both types of tests.
