The first day of school is Wednesday, September 6 for all Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS).
Transition Day for all prekindergarten and kindergarten students will be Thursday, August 31. Transition Day for new students starting in sixth, seventh and ninth grade will be Tuesday, September 5.
Transition Day prepares students for their new grade, advising them on what they can expect and helping them adjust to any changes. Students will learn about their new school and meet staff members. Buses will pick up and drop off students at their regular times and bus stop locations. Parents with questions can contact their child’s school or visit the individual school’s website for more details.
Bus Stop Tips
Parents of registered students should receive a letter that specifies the bus stop location, route number and pick-up and drop-off times. Parents can also search for their child’s bus stop by their home address at pgcps.org/student-transportation.
School Meal Prices
School meal prices remain the same as last year: student breakfast, $1.60; elementary lunch, $2.75; secondary lunch, $3.00. Forms to apply for reduced-price or free lunches are available at each school and will be sent home with students. Parents can also call 301-952-6517 or visit pgcps.org/foodandnutrition for more details.
