https://education.fcps.org/mvmpcs/contactform

All families, new and returning, must complete the contact form every school year to have up-to-date information for your family to receive important communications. This form will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Communications

All families are required to have at least one parent/guardian subscribed to the School E-News Distribution List. Our school has several channels of communication available to parents. This is how you will receive important communications regarding school events, news and updates. 

All families should subscribe to FindOutFirst and follow MVM.

News from FindOutFirst is often received before other sources, but in emergencies please check any reliable source. MVM administration may use this method to reach out to parents for urgent messages (i.e. building issues, bear lock-downs, etc.) Sign-up or change your preferences: https://fcps.ezcommunicator.net/edu/frederick/login_form.aspx?app=0
