Due to concerns related to the solar eclipse, MCPS will release students at 12:00 pm (noon) on Monday, April 8. The eclipse will occur later in the afternoon during our normal student release times.

For families who plan to view the eclipse, MCPS encourages safe viewing practices. You can find information regarding safe practices at the links below:
