    MCPS ParentLink:  This communication service provides messaging to parents via phone call, email, text message, and app notifications. Parent phone numbers and email contacts in the ParentLink system are imported from Infinite Campus, our student information system. Schools only have the ability to send a message through MCPS ParentLink to parents' and high school students' phone numbers, SMS text numbers, and email addresses.

    Update Information:  If you wish to change the phone number, SMS text number, or email address through which you receive school messages, please contact your student's school and request that your contact information be updated or changed. Generally, the school secretary can assist with this task.
     
    If you would like to customize what types of messages you receive on each phone number, SMS number, and email, please visit our ParentLink help page for instructions.
