Not sure why you had the results you had, but I had to contact them myself and got a prompt call back. Granted it is early July, so you may have missed someone who is on vacation. What number are you searching for on their web site? I found the numbers I needed, perhaps I can help.

I don't know if this page will help:
http://www.fcps.edu/LongfellowMS/pages/counselingdept.html#LMS Program
School just ended two weeks ago and won't start again until September. It may be that people need a bit of a break or are still dealing with power outages. Either way, I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from the fact that people haven't been as responsive recently as you'd like. In general, Carole Kihm runs a tight ship.

It might help to (a) wait a few days until after the power has been restored and (2) drop by in person. In our experience, the front office at Longfellow was very friendly and helpful. If you'd had kids at another FCPS middle school - as we did - you might think more highly of Longfellow.
