Annual Notice for Directory Information and Student Privacy

Eligible students and parents/guardians may indicate the student does not want to be recorded during virtual classroom sessions by using their ParentVUE accounts to access MCPS Form 281- 13, Annual Notice for Directory Information and Student Privacy and selecting the box that states: “Do not include my student’s image and voice in the recording of virtual lessons for future viewing by students in the same class.” MCPS Form 281-13, Annual Notice for Directory Information and Student Privacy is also available on the MCPS website. A report generated from Synergy will be provided to teachers that identifies students who do not want to be recorded during virtual classroom sessions.

No exchanges at Burnt Mills Elementary

MCPS set up the site at 45 West Gude Drive so that there is a technician available to parents Monday through Friday.  We are not exchanging Lenovo Chromebooks at Burnt Mills as we are not supposed to collect non-working Chromebooks, per MCPS.  Thank you for your understanding.
