MCPS Community Schools Team

🥳🥳🥳We are happy to announce and welcome the 19 additional schools identified by MSDE to the MCPS Community Schools Team for the 2024-2025 School Year. This expansion moves us from 34 to 53 schools. @mrdarwinwong @Listening2Lead @MCPSSEBHA (See Thread)

During today’s staff meeting, I had the opportunity to discuss how @CSconnect_MCPS funds are used to #support #enrich #engage and #expand resources, opportunities and experiences for our @HHESHUSKIES (If you haven’t already done so, it’s not too late to complete our ANA survey.)

A sense of belonging can make a real difference in whether students show up & stay engaged. Join @attendanceworks and @IELconnects on April 1, 12–1:30 pm PT for the first webinar in the 2026 Attendance Awareness Campaign, Nurture Belonging in the Spring! attendanceworks.org/resources/webi…
