STAR Process and Procedures
Welcome to Montgomery County Public Schools' Resource Guides for using STAR Student. These step-by-step instruction documents have been developed for MCPS administrative personnel. It is our hope that this will assist us as we strive to meet state and local guidelines with regard to data collection, storage, and reporting. Please contact STAR support at star@mcps.org if further assistance is required or if you feel additional documents are needed. Though these documents were created for use in our district, our colleagues across the state are invited to use them as well. Please feel free to forward comments to star@mcps.org .
