MCPS Resources for Parents/Guardians

Sometimes being a parent of a middle-schooler is difficult. Staying on top of your child’s academic progress is hard enough. Add to that the issues presented by social media, and emotional and other challenges, and life with an adolescent can seem overwhelming.

Montgomery County Public Schools is aware that parents can use help.  The Parent Homepage on the MCPS website includes links to a great deal of useful information, including forms, school lunch menus, bus routes, and directions for using the ParentVue portal.

Each year, MCPS also holds a series of parenting classes called The Parent Academy. These classes cover a variety of topics, including college readiness, cyber safety and social media, and effective parenting.
