Also, I don’t think it hurts to send it again. Just be polite. We get so many emails a day and are trying to do grading and lesson planning and teaching... well, most jobs are like that these days. I would first assume it was overlooked or forgotten rather than ignored.

If it is fcps and your child used the fcpsschools.net address, send another email to the fcps.edu one. The former address is our gmail account which often receives hundreds of emails a day with classroom notifications. I always tell students to use the fcps.edu one, but they forget.

Ours does not reply to emails. We wondered why at first and now just have moved on. We heard from another teacher they are getting beyond too many emails a day that sometimes hard to keep up.

I'd also try to make sure your child used the correct email. It seems as though FCPS teachers have two emails(at least at the MS/HS level)In the beginning of this year,. At my kids MS, the students were using the email that teachers typically do not use. My kid sent two emails(one was a follow up) then went to an office hour to ask the teacher why she had not responded to the email. The next class the teacher went over what email to use to contact her.

I was going to say the same thing. I get about 50 emails a day from students in my FCPS gmail account.

I usually expect one business for a response and often get it sooner. But sometimes the teacher misses the email, and sometimes I've missed a response. It happens. Just send it again.

Maybe she will talked to him doing the next time he has class, if not you should CC the AP, principal, school board members, superintendent, The Vice President of the United States and the president of the United States.

One full school day and then I’d be forwarding my child’s email saying something like “not sure if you saw the below message but...”

OP here. FCPS. No snow days.

If MCPS, Friday was not a school day. It should be fine if the teacher answers today.

That is plenty of time (AP here)
