Vaccinations are one of the most critical strategies to help schools resume and maintain regular operations. On Friday, Aug. 13, MCPS announced that as part of its reopening plan, all staff are required to:

  • Wear face coverings in all school buildings, buses and MCPS facilities, regardless of vaccination status; and
  • Submit proof of vaccination or participate in weekly COVID-19 testing.

By working together, we can ensure our students are able to safely learn and thrive as they return to school. Our commitments to the entire MCPS community are critical steps to achieving a successful start to the school year for all students.
