Schools provide directory information for public listings such as honor roll, awards, and other notices in the newspaper or on the
Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) website. A student’s name, address, and telephone number may also be released
to organizations of any combination of parents/guardians, teachers, and students of a school. Unless you tell them not to,
schools can release the information without your prior consent.
Teachers may also record classroom lessons (whether in-person or virtual) for educational purposes, including instructional
improvement or future viewing by students in the same class. If you do not want your student’s image and voice captured in such
recordings, please indicate below.
Directory Information includes the following items: student’s and/or parent’s/guardian’s name, address, e-mail address, and telephone
number; student’s date of birth; major field of study; grade level; participation in officially recognized activities and sports; degrees and
awards received (including honor roll); most recent school attended; dates of attendance; photograph, or other likeness; the weight
and height of members of athletic teams; and other similar information.
If you do not want your school to release your directory information, complete the information below and return this notice to
your school by September 11, 2026.
Additional copies of this notice can be found on the MCPS website, and are available in Spanish, French, Vietnamese, Chinese,
Korean, Amharic, and Portuguese.
This form must be completed every year.
Your school will assume you agree to the release of the directory information, unless this form is returned by Friday,
September 11, 2026.
If you need to change your decision at a later date, just contact your school directly.
If you enroll after September 11, 2026, you can complete this form at the time of enrollment.
