Parking Information
For safety and security reasons, all vehicles parked on Northwood campus must be registered in the main office (for visitors) or have a current parking permit (for staff and students). While we will not be charging students parking fees this year, we continue to follow MCPS policy and procedures.
MCPS Form 215-6 (revised February 2021) is required for each student receiving a parking permit along with the Student Parking Letter. Each student approved for a parking permit must provide documentation of a valid driver’s license and automobile insurance before receiving a student parking permit.
For additional information, please contact Mr. Edward Velasquez, security team member, at Edward_G_Velasquez@mcpsmd.org

Curbside Grab & Go Meal Service @Northwood
The Division of Food & Nutrition Services is preparing for the reopening of 208 schools in March. Starting March 1st, 2021 Northwood has been chosen as a Curbside Grab & Go Hub to provide meals to our virtual learners as well. All the Grab & Go Hub locations are listed below. These sites will serve meals to in-class learners and to curbside virtual learner customers. Curbside meal service will operate from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm. We will provide breakfast, lunch, snacks and suppers on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Breakfasts & lunches will be served on Friday to provide meals for the weekend (Saturday & Sunday). There will be no meal service on Wednesdays. Meals will be available to youth 18 years and younger.
The FARMS application has been updated. Families must reapply each school year. Online applications are the fastest and safest way to apply during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Apply here/ Applicar aqui
Use only one application (online or paper) for all children in a household who attend Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), even if the students attend different schools.
- As federal government information on the application changes every year, only the 2020–2021 applications may be used. Please immediately discard all application forms from previous years.
- Students may apply for meal benefits at any time during the school year.
Transfer Students: When a student transfers between schools within MCPS, his or her meal eligibility also transfers. When a student transferred from a school outside of Montgomery County and was on a free or reduced status, please contact DFNS at 301-284-4900 for specific instructions.
Questions: If you have any questions, please contact DFNS at 301-284-4900.
