Parents and Guardians,
There has been some confusion regarding bookbags for the 2025-2026 academic school year from a recent post on our Facebook page. Per MCPSS Policy, bookbags must be 100% clear. Parents who choose to provide clear bookbags should be advised that we must be able to view every item in the bookbag without opening it. Please call the school before purchasing. New clear bookbags will be handed out at Registration and Meet the Teacher.
