LCPS literally emails us at least once per day, sometimes two or three times per day. I can't just create a rule to send it all to junk, because 1/20 emails is actually something I need to know. In fact I recently missed a deadline on something I cared about. Its maddening.

Rant over.


At least 2-3 times per week per kid, but people still complain that the county is poor at communication.


Yes, because people either don’t read their emails or the county sends out so much random info that relevant information gets lost in the flood. In APS at least, it’s quantity over quality in terms of communication.

MCPS sends us one email a week every week, plus another one some weeks. The average is probably like 1.5 emails per week.

FCPS, once a week from the school principal, in ES once a week from the teacher (nothing individual, just what is going on in the classroom) and district e-mails as needed and once a month or so

Generally once per week, per school. Everything is in one weekly newsletter.

There are definitely exceptions but definitely not weekly or even monthly. Usually Emergency type of stuff that can’t wait - bus or facility issue, heads up about parking or traffic issues that effect pickup/dropoff etc.

MCPS is the same, so many emails, most of them ridiculously long and say nothing of importance.

APS uses parentsquare so you can get a once daily digest. Usually there is the superintendent’s Wednesday message and the Friday 5. There might be more. I’m also staff so it bleeds together.
