Resources for Explorer Middle School Parents
Research shows that family engagement in schools improves student achievement and reduces absenteeism. Students with involved parents or other caregivers earn higher grades and test scores, have better social skills, and show improved behavior.
The resources below were created to help parents stay informed about policies and procedures at Explorer Middle School (EMS). We also invite interested parents to take a more active role at Explorer through the School Council and United Parent Council.
Anti-Bullying
When students follow these expectations, they demonstrate PRIDE and prove themselves to be good school citizens. They are empowered to create the campus community we strive for: a safe, comfortable environment in which all students can excel academically and emotionally. Please review these expectations with your student. When we partner together, nothing is impossible!
EMS Cell Phone Policy
Students MAY NOT use their cell phones on campus before school, during the passing period, at lunch, or after school. Students may NOT have their phones on their person during class or while using the restroom.

EMS Dress Code
We provide students with supportive learning environments that include rich academic and extracurricular experiences, interventions, and programs to prepare them for a successful future.
Because part of a students success depends on their community's strength, we offer information on the following resources.
