Academic Concerns

Parents are urged to contact their child’s teachers when they have academic questions or concerns. Similarly, they are urged to contact their child’s counselor when they have concerns related to their child’s social well-being.

EMS staff are expected respond to parent/guardian phone calls and emails within two school days. Staff email addresses are located on the Eastern Middle School website, under the staff directory tab. Teachers and other staff are usually not available to talk via phone during the school day. The most efficient way to contact school employees is via email.

MCPS employees are all expected to interact with all students, parents/guardians, colleagues, and the community with integrity and professionalism. This includes direct communication, such as phone calls and emails, and the use of social media.
