Updating Contact Information

Middle School Parent/Teacher Conferences

If you would like to schedule a parent/teacher conference with all academic teachers, or schedule a school instructional team (SIT) meeting, please contact the Professional School Counselor at (301) 808-8160.  If you require a parent/teacher conference with an individual teacher, please contact the teacher directly.

Meeting with the Counselor

Parents who would like to meet with the counselor are asked to call or email to schedule an appointment to ensure that the counselor is available.

Student Service Learning

Service-learning is a teaching method that combines meaningful service to the community with curriculum-based learning for students in grades five and above. Students improve their academic skills by applying what they learn in school to the real world; they then reflect on their experience to reinforce the link between their service and their learning.  There have been numerous changes to the student service learning hour requirements. These requirements can be found at http://www1.pgcps.org/ssl/.

McKinney-Vento Program

In these tough economic times many families are left without a place to stay. Any child without a regular, fixed, and adequate nighttime residence is considered homeless. The child may live in a shelter, a temporary home, a motel, a car, a campground, or on the street. Homeless children may live temporarily with relatives or friends, because of a loss of permanent housing.  Prince Georges’ County Public School has various services and resources that are available to homeless students and their families. If you believe that you are considered homeless, please contact the Guidance Office IMMEDIATELY so that we can assist you and your child.

Changes In Family Circumstances

If there have been any changes within your family (i.e., death of a loved one, separation) please let us know.  Many of our students exhibit behaviors during the school day that are a result of environmental factors which we are not usually made aware of until an incident at school occurs. Please contact your child’s counselor, so that we can provide support and/or services for you and your child.  Any information shared is kept within the strictest confidence, with the exception of your child harming themselves, harming someone else, or being harmed. Remember we are the support away from home for your child!
