At its Dec. 2 business meeting, the Montgomery County Board of Education approved a modified school calendar for the remainder of the 2021-2022 school year.
MCPS recognizes that teacher planning time is critical for the preparation of meaningful and engaging lessons for students each day. To support this, three early release days have been added to this school year’s calendar to allow for important work time for staff. Wednesday, Jan. 12; Thursday, March 24; and Wednesday, May 18, 2022 are now early release days for both traditional and innovative calendar schools. MCPS is piloting a variety of out-of-school time opportunities with community partners to provide engaging activities for students during the afternoons on early release days.
Brenda Wolff was re-elected as Montgomery County Board of Education President during this morning’s BOE meeting. Vice President Karla Silvestre was also re-elected.

Dear MCPS Community,
Due to staffing shortages, Montgomery County Public Schools is now allowing weekly COVID-19 testing for staff, according to Bethesda Beat. Previously, MCPS said they would terminate any employee not fully vaccinated by October 29, unless they provided a medical exemption.
MCPS will now allow unvaccinated employees to submit a negative COVID test on a weekly basis, or face disciplinary action up to and including termination, according to a letter sent to MCPS staff.
