MTHS Key Info to Begin the Year by Melvina Jones

Are there any specific requirements for syllabus language/format this year?

Yes, all syllabi should align with DCPS expectations of including norms that have been collaboratively developed with students

Have there been any policy updates (uniform, behavior, etc.) that we should be aware of before making copies on Wednesday? It was mentioned that providing slides would be helpful.

No updates from last school year. But please refer to the power point shared by the culture team on Monday. Some additional culture team information will be shared on Thursday.

What is the schedule for the first week of school?

Here are the basics...more info coming on Thursday.

What is the plan for computer rollout, and when will students be ready to complete assignments on Canvas?

mjteachmedc1 — 2025-08-19 19:27:46 UTC

Devices will be distributed during week 2.

Since the Social Studies Department was previously tasked with Digital Citizenship, will that responsibility remain with us or be shifted to another department this year?

mjteachmedc1 — 2025-08-19 19:28:23 UTC

ELA will be responsible for the digital citizenship course on Wednesday and Thursday of next week.

Understanding that schedules and rosters are still being finalized, what is the last day for schedule changes?

mjteachmedc1 — 2025-08-19 19:29:13 UTC

Counselors and students have the first 10 days of schools to request schedule changes. September 8th is the 10th day of school.

Additionally, when would you recommend teachers create seating charts?

You should create seating charts when you feel comfortable, but as roster changes occur, you will need to make up.

Are there hours over the weekend for teachers to prepare before the first week of school?

mjteachmedc1 — 2025-08-19 19:30:14 UTC

Yes, teachers can access the building from 9-2 on Saturday, August 23rd.
