Adopted 3/23/21 WELCOME TO THE 2021–2022 SCHOOL YEAR!

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked to get the most accurate and up-to-date meeting and event information for this school year. This has been no easy task as we have begun returning to normalcy after a year of adversity and adjustments. We hope that you find this year’s Comprehensive Staff Calendar useful. As always, the staff calendar is packed with important dates to remember and systemwide information. Please note that dates, times and information contained in this calendar are subject to change without notice. This year’s calendar again has the combined dates for Traditional Calendar Schools, as well as the two Innovative Calendar Schools (Arcola and Roscoe R. Nix elementary schools). Dates and events that apply to only traditional calendar schools are denoted with [TRADITIONAL CALENDAR SCHOOLS ONLY]. Dates and events that apply only to Arcola and Nix are denoted with [INNOVATIVE CALENDAR SCHOOLS ONLY]. An interactive version of this calendar also can be found online through the MCPS calendar tool. The tool is customizable and users are able to “build their own calendar” based on select categories. You can view the days schools are open and closed, Board of Education meetings, fine arts events, cultural and religious holidays, and much more. The calendar can be displayed by month or up to 12 months at a time. You can download it on your computer or mobile device in iCal format to Outlook or other calendar programs. The calendar can be accessed from the main MCPS homepage or directly at www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/calendar/. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
