School
Approach
A comprehensive, standards-based curriculum that builds essential skills in literacy, mathematics, science, and social studies, while also promoting critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration.
Meals
The MCPS Kitchen is passionate about creating healthy, fun breakfasts and lunches. Many items are prepared from scratch, although we also serve some student favorites that are prepared items. We provide Free Breakfast in the Classroom at MCPS elementary and middle schools. All MCPS students who would like breakfast or lunch at school will be given a meal, regardless of their ability to pay or meal account status.

Philosophy

A currciculum review cycle ensures the continuous improvement of MCPS. Teachers in a Professional Learning Community commit to continuous learning about best, research-based practices while being open to trying new different approaches to enhance their effectiveness (Eaker & Keating, 2015). In total, teachers are committed to improving student learning by improving their own learning.
