your child their bus route number before they get out of the car if they ride the bus home.
Fill out and send in the Parent Reunification Form and Emergency Information Sheets the 1st week of
school. In order for you to receive ConnectEd messages via email or phone, please make sure you fill in your
email and phone number.
Edline - A parent edline account activation code will be sent to you at your home address from the central
MCPS office via the US postal service. It will be a separate code from the one your child will receive in
school. Both you and your child need to activate your own accounts. Look for your code to arrive during the
