Come to guidance and pick up a Service Learning Verification

What information do I need to enroll my child at Eisenhower Middle School?

If you are coming from out of county you will need the withdrawal 
paperwork from the previous school, your lease, deed or ettlement

How do I request make-up work when my child has been absent from school?

Call Mrs. Coleman in the Guidance office at 301-497-3640.  Give 
them your child's name, dates of the absence, and if you know 
them, the names of your child's teachers.  There is a two day 
turn around when requesting work, as teachers need time to 
prepare the request. 
Requested 
work is picked up in the guidance office.

Portal allows you to view your child's grades in the teachers' 
gradebooks, as well as attendance and discipline data. The Parent 
Portal is up to date and linked with the teacher's 
gradebook/attendance book.
