2026 PROM SURVEY
Hello Juniors and Seniors (and parents)!
As you know, we sent a prom survey two weeks ago to determine your interest in the location of prom and your interest in after-prom. There have been some slight changes, as well as more information, so we are issuing the survey for a final time. Please review all of the information thoroughly, before completing the survey. The survey will have a hard close on Thursday, July 10. Thank you! Also note that the price per ticket is approximate. Once voting is closed, an email will be sent with the results.
Thank you
Mrs. Love-Campbell, Ms. Donner, Ms. Scott, and Mrs. Keres

Parent/Guardian Consent for Use of Additional On-Line Services for High School Students
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) requires consent from parents/guardians (or eligible students) to provide high school students with access to Google’s G Suite Additional Services (such as YouTube) as part of their individual student accounts. Once parents/guardians give consent, this consent remains valid for the entire time the student is enrolled in an MCPS high school (but may be rescinded at any time).
In an effort to assist schools in assigning rights for Google Additional Services (such as YouTube) for new high school students, families can access the Google Suite Additional Services consent form in their ParentVue account.
Parents/Guardians – you can view all the applications that MCPS uses at the link below. ParentVue is where parents/guardians will (1) update any personal information, (2) register for athletics, (3) register for summer school and much more.
The link to the list of ParentVue updates is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HCNWPGEMv7fxuy-KYxeAS1F002jXTvVX/view
