REQUIRED Volunteer Training
Referenced at Back to School Night
As part of this ongoing effort for the 2016-2017 school year, MCPS has developed training for all volunteers in the district to learn about recognizing and reporting child abuse and neglect.  While we encourage all community members to engage in this important, informative training,  currently we only require individuals who regularly support schools as well as all field trip volunteers to complete the Child Abuse and Neglect training. 

The online training can be accessed through the MCPS website at:

Once completed, please forward the Confirmation of Completion email with your confirmation code to Mrs. Clark at [email protected] and Mrs. Salvino at  [email protected].
