Opening Day for School Auditorium, Summer 2024

Thursday, February 1, 2024, is opening day to request use of school auditoriums for dates of use during the upcoming Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Summer Break. It all begins online at 6:30 a.m.

New and Improved Process, We're Listening

We are so excited to announce that School Auditorium facilities can now be requested via ActiveMONTGOMERY.org based upon feedback from user groups. You can upload your information, pay the deposit, etc. all online directly in the ActiveMONTGOMERY software! 

• Application fee: CUPF will collect a $250.00 application fee (down payment) at the time of application; this fee will be applied to the total cost of the reservation and not an additional charge. If the reservation request is not approved, this fee will be refunded.
• For more information on the process to reserve space withing this advanced priority placement, send an email to cupf@montgomerycountymd.gov.

Helpful Hints to Prepare

• Ensure that your account for ActiveMONTGOMERY.org is active with a current login and password. Read more...
• Organizations should ensure that the account login and password is available to whomever in the organization has been given the authority to reserve public facilities on their behalf.
• Individual / personal accounts may not make facility reservations on behalf of an organization.
• Payment is due at the time of the reservation.
• Auditorium requests are subject to review and typically have a 5-15 business day lead time, depending on the school(s) being requested. Please be thorough in your application.
• A final approval and "firm" contract are required prior to an advertisement by the group for the event. This final "firm" contract will be sent to the main email on file for the account requesting the space. 

Auditorium Use is subject to additional fees such as staffing, clean up and set up as well as security. Your initial payment of $250 is applied towards this balance.
