CMCSS announces district-wide remote learning January 4
Please note: This article was originally posted during a previous school year. Information and/or dates from past events may be not be relevant for the current school year. Monday, January 4 will be a remote learning day for all CMCSS traditional students. District leadership has reviewed Gov. Lee’s Executive Order #70 and is seeking guidance from local and state agencies on its implications for in-person learning through mid-January. Over Winter Break, district leaders will continue meeting to review the latest data and guidance to make decisions in the best interest of the physical, social, and emotional health and well-being of students and employees. If remote learning needs to be extended, the district will make every effort to communicate this extension to families no later than Monday, December 28. District leaders understand changes like these present challenges for families and strive not to disrupt in-person learning unless deemed necessary as CMCSS responds to the conditions of the pandemic. The district cannot reiterate enough that families choosing traditional, in-person learning for their child(ren) should make preparations throughout the year in the event that school buildings are closed and remote learning must take place. The CMCSS Communicable Disease Team and the Montgomery County Health Department review the local spread of COVID-19 and other data on a daily basis to make school-based and district-wide decisions. As of yesterday, Montgomery County’s community spread reached an all-time high of 0.859% and has continued to increase 12 out of the last 14 days. Please follow the guidance of our local, state, and national public health officials and medical experts to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
CMCSS announces district-wide remote learning, Dec. 16-Dec.18
Please note: This article was originally posted during a previous school year. Information and/or dates from past events may be not be relevant for the current school year. Due to staffing issues and in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, all CMCSS traditional students will transition to remote learning tomorrow, Wed., Dec. 16 through Fri., Dec. 18. As a reminder, Mon., Dec. 21 is a pre-planned, district-wide remote learning day before Winter Break, so traditional students will not return to buildings until Mon., Jan. 4. With remote learning, students will not report to the school building as they will access learning via the laptops provided by the district. Athletics and extracurricular events will be cancelled or postponed. Teachers will communicate with students on how to access lessons. For more information on remote learning, visit cmcss.net/remote. Families who need access to no-cost meals during this remote learning time may pick up meals at any CMCSS elementary school on the following days. Weekend meals will be available on Fri., Dec. 18 from 1 – 2 p.m. Meals for remote learning and Winter Break will be available on Mon., Dec. 21 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. While the CMCSS Communicable Disease Team (CDT) and the Montgomery County Health Department (MCHD) do not have specific thresholds for transitioning to remote learning, other than community spread, recent community and statewide data have heightened concerns. Last week, the White House Task Force classified Montgomery County as a red zone and the state’s new cases per 100,000 residents have exceeded national averages. Yesterday, the district reached a new record of 40 new cases in 20 unique schools, and the community reached a new record for community spread at 0.667%, which is almost double the percentage from last week.

Network Connectivity Issues Update for Families November 23, 2020
Please note: This article was originally posted during a previous school year. Information and/or dates from past events may be not be relevant for the current school year. Good afternoon, CMCSS families, This is David Holman, Chief Technology Officer for CMCSS. I want to thank our students, parents, guardians, teachers, and staff for your patience today as the Technology Department worked to resolve the connectivity issues. I want to share what happened today and what we are doing to resolve the situation. This morning, the district experienced latency on the internal network. When an upgrade was implemented to resolve the initial latency issue, it resulted in another unforeseen issue with our VPN service. We have been in contact with the vendor and will be implementing a solution tonight that will alleviate both the latency and the VPN service issues. As the district communicated in October, today was the second of five pre-planned remote learning days to allow our team an opportunity to evaluate and repair any issues that could arise in the event that multiple schools or the entire district needed to transition to remote learning due to the circumstances of the pandemic. While I know how frustrating disruptions to remote learning can be for all those involved, I appreciate you giving us this opportunity to improve. Students who were unable to access assignments and coursework due to connectivity issues should communicate with their teachers. We will give students the same grace we have asked of you as we navigate this unprecedented time. As a reminder, tomorrow, Tue., Nov. 24 and Wed., Nov. 25 also are pre-planned remote learning days before Thanksgiving break. Students should follow the learning plans provided by their teachers. Please note that elementary and middle school students will not have live instruction the next two days. High school […]

CMCSS students, faculty, staff, and administrators have worked hard to implement the district’s reopening plan and to keep our school buildings open for those families that chose the traditional option. It is going to take the community working together to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in order to keep our buildings open. Please remember, everyone is expected to self-screen prior to entering school property. In addition, students, faculty, and staff should not enter a school building if they are awaiting a COVID-19 test result or if a household member is awaiting a COVID-19 test result unless the household member is being tested routinely for work or surgeries. If you have questions, please review the Back to School/Work Flowchart. Regarding fan attendance at athletic events, CMCSS is following guidance from TSSAA.
