Students Walking

Walking Distances to Change

Starting August 2009, FCPS will return to the non-transported distances that were in place two years ago.
The following Monocacy Middle School neighborhoods will be affected:

Clover Hill 2 –East
North Crossing
Willow Brook

The FCPS Transportation Department has re-evaluated pre-2007 walking paths to ensure consistency with the revised policy.
Some areas from which students were transported pre-2007 are now designated walking areas:

Maps of the non-transported areas for the 2009-10 school year are available at www.fcps.org/nonstransported.

The FCPS Transportation Department suggests that students walking from Clover Hill 2-East, North Crossing, and Willow Brook use the recommended path listed below:

Christopher Crossing
Left on Opossumtown Pike
Left on Rainbow Lane
Left on Lookout Lane
Left on Indian Summer Lane
Right on Morning Dew Lane
Right on Hayward Road
Left on Opossumtown Pike

Because school office staffs are typically very familiar with their communities, FCPS asks parents to direct inquiries about non-transported areas to the school.
