More information about the parties will come from your child's individual classroom.

Visit for more information. ____________________________________________________________________ Volunteer Training on Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse MCPS values the volunteers who work in our schools to enrich our students' experiences. As a community, we all are mindful of our shared responsibility to create safe, nurturing environments for our students. The Montgomery County Board of Education has revised its child abuse policy, and MCPS has engaged in a comprehensive effort to implement practices and protocols to ensure all of our students have a safe learning environment.

As part of this ongoing effort for the 2016?2017 school year, MCPS has developed training for all volunteers in the district to learn about recognizing and reporting child abuse and neglect. This online training takes about 30 minutes to complete and can be accessed through the MCPS website at childabuseandneglect/. While we encourage all community members to engage in this important, informative training, currently we only require individuals who regularly support schools to complete the child abuse and neglect training.

The online training will be available in Amharic, Chinese, French, Korean, Spanish, and Vietnamese by the end of September 2016. Parents/guardians will not be barred from participation in their schools due to the need for training accommodations.

Answers to frequently asked questions are posted on the MCPS Child Abuse and Neglect webpage. MCPS is grateful for your commitment and partnership to ensure the safety of students.

MCPS valora a los voluntarios que trabajan en nuestras escuelas para enriquecer las experiencias de los estudiantes. Como comunidad, nosotros somos conscientes de nuestra responsabilidad compartida para crear entornos seguros y c?lidos para nuestros estudiantes. El Consejo de Educaci?n recientemente hizo una revisi?n a su pol?tica sobre abuso infantil, y MCPS se ha involucrado en un esfuerzo integral para implementar las pr?cticas y protocolos que aseguran que nuestros estudiantes tengan un entorno seguro donde aprender.

Como parte de este esfuerzo continuo, para el ciclo escolar 2016?2017, MCPS ha desarrollado capacitaci?n para los voluntarios, para prevenir, reconocer, y denunciar abuso y negligencia infantil en el distrito escolar. La capacitaci?n en l?nea toma aproximadamente 30 minutos para ser completado y se puede ser acceder a trav?s de la p?gina de internet de MCPS childabuseandneglect/. Si bien alentamos a todos los miembros de la comunidad a participar en este entrenamiento importante e informativo, actualmente s?lo se requiere que los individuos quienes apoyan en las escuelas regularmente completen la capacitaci?n sobre Abuso y Negligencia Infantil.

La capacitaci?n en l?nea estar? disponible en am?rico, chino, franc?s, coreano, espa?ol y vietnamita para finales de septiembre 2016.No se impedir? la participaci?n de los padres/guardianes en sus escuelas debido a la necesidad de adaptaciones.

Respuestas a preguntas frecuentes est?n publicadas en la p?gina de Internet de MCPS sobre Abuso y Negligencia Infantil. MCPS est? agradecido por su compromiso y colaboraci?n para asegurar la seguridad de los estudiantes.
