Teachers in Manassas City Public Schools are viewed with high regard. Equipped with a superb education, on-going training and demonstrating a willingness to do their best, teachers in Manassas City Public Schools are a point of pride for the school system and the city. The MCPS teacher is a professional who can and does make a difference in the future of the city and in the lives of our students. There are many ways parents and citizens can participate in school programs and activities. One is through the Parent Teacher Organization or the Parent Teacher Association in the elementary schools, the Parent Teacher Association in the middle and high school and the AA Boosters in the high school.
Many citizens also assist schools through volunteer programs.
Each school has an open house program which gives parents and interested citizens an opportunity to meet the teachers and learn how they can assist their children at home, reinforcing classroom instruction. Each school's staff is a source of information and guidance to parents. Parents are encouraged to contact the school regarding their children's progress and needs. The Parent Teacher Organization and the Parent Teacher Association fosters strong links between the home and school. They each strive to keep parents informed of important issues relating to children and education, actively support legislation benefiting children, and sponsors fund-raising activities to finance individual school projects.
