Make sure your child is on time for school
Students who arrive after the bell rings at 9:25 are marked tardy.
When your child is tardy, they miss necessary parts of their day and learning. If your child is a walker or car rider, please plan to arrive at school at 9:10 a.m.
Ramadan Mubarak to all of our families who observe!

Councilmember Jawando - joined by Councilmemer Katz - has recently launched an “Education Listening Tour” to receive direct input from students, staff, and communities about our schools. By the end of 2025, he will visit all the MCPS high school clusters, stopping in at a few schools and a PTA meeting each time.
The tour's next stop is Gaithersburg High School for our Tuesday, March 21st PTA meeting at 7pm (in person) at GHS.
