Thank you so much for your continued support of our school. As of this week we now have over 50% participation in our Student Success Fund. Let's get to 100% by the end of the month.
Please see the PTO update below. Our PTO is a wonderful way to volunteer at MCCPS and support our students and staff. Thank you to the PTO for the surprise pizza lunch at yesterday's professional development day. Much appreciated!
We also welcome more parent participation on Committees of the Board of Trustees. The Personnel Committee, the Governance Committee, the Academic Excellence Committee, and the Development & Communications committee all have open spots. These committees meet just one time per month. Contact Peter Cohen or a member of the Board of Trustees if interested.
Please save the date - Thursday September 30 - for our curriculum night event. This will be a virtual event via Zoom. Join us September 30 at 6:30pm to meet the leadership team and our teachers. After a welcome message for all, we will send everyone to breakout rooms to meet with each grade level team.
Our master calendar had some missing information. It has been updated to note that dismissal on Fridays is at 2:30pm. See below to download the calendar. Enjoy this last weekend of summer.

Welcome to the first monthly PTO Update!
We hope everyone is settling into their school routines by now. PTO meetings are usually held the first Friday of every month at 8am- in person in the library or via zoom. Some highlights from our first meeting included:
PTO vs Student Success Fund: please see the Parent Resource Guide for details but the PTO mainly funds extracurricular student activities (eg field trips) and teacher/staff gifts and appreciation while the Student Success Fund covers student benefits/activities such as books, fruit for snack/lunch and enrichment courses
Main PTO fundraisers: pie sales (fall), Penny Wars (winter) and fun walk/run (spring)
PTO-sponsored events: student dances (3 per year) and teacher/staff appreciation events (monthly basis, alternating between PTO and parents). See Sign Up Genius below
