The Public Information office plays a critical role in disseminating information to the public in a timely manner and serving as the communications hub during emergencies and crises. The office works closely with parent and community groups in the development of publications to assist parents in understanding the school system. Navigating the System, disseminated to all MCPS families and schools, is published in five languages and is in its second printing. Aim High! and its companion publications are published in nine languages and also disseminated to families throughout the school system. The office produces both regular and time sensitive internal communications for staff.
