A Year of Growth, Health, and Achievement
Dear Parents and Families,
I’m excited to start with some fantastic news: Montgomery Public Schools has recently received an A+ credit rating upgrade! This significant accomplishment is a testament to the strong financial foundation we’ve built together, and it will enable us to save on future borrowing costs—ultimately benefiting our schools, programs, and most importantly, our students. We couldn’t have reached this milestone without your ongoing support, and we’re proud to share this success with our entire community.
As we move through February and the heart of the spring semester, we have an opportunity to reflect on our growth and set our sights on what’s still ahead. This is the time to renew our commitment to our students’ success and to continue pushing forward with the goal of providing an exceptional education to every child in Montgomery County.
I’d also like to encourage all of our families to focus on well-being this month. Whether it’s making time for physical activity, ensuring mental health is a priority, or simply finding time to relax and recharge, we all need balance to stay healthy and energized. Let’s make sure we’re supporting our children in maintaining a strong body and mind as we work toward our goals.
For our families with seniors, we know this is a special year filled with milestones and moments of transition. As your child prepares for graduation, please know that we are here to support you every step of the way. We encourage you to take time to celebrate the accomplishments of your senior and stay engaged with the many opportunities and resources available to ensure a successful finish to their high school journey. It’s a time of great achievement, and we are excited to watch your students reach this important milestone.
Thank you for everything you do to support our schools and students. Together, we will make this semester a time of growth, success, and continued excellence.
