The Home Stretch!
We are getting very close to the end, but we still do have two weeks left! It is important that students continue to be here, be on time, and focus on finishing strong. A couple of items to note for the next two weeks:
- June 5th is a school day, this is a change from the start of the year due to weather closings.
- There is NO school on Thursday, June 6th due to graduation.
- We will have locker cleanout on Monday, June 10, 2019. Students will not be able to access their lockers after Monday. Students should start bringing items they do not need home with them.
- June 13th is now a full day of school, this is a change from the start of the year due to weather closings.
- June 14th is the last day of this is a change from the start of the year due to weather closings. This is an early release day for students.

Changes to the 2018 - 2019 Calendar Due to Inclement Weather
Inclement weather forced MCPS to close schools on four days this winter. The 2018–2019 MCPS school calendar includes 182 instruction days, 2 more than the minimum required in the state of Maryland. As a result of these closures, MCPS will need to use two designated make-up days to ensure that it meets the state-required number of school days. The school year will be extended to June 14, 2019, and schools also will be open on June 5, which was a previously scheduled professional day for staff. June 14 will be an early release day for all students.
