Repeat MCPS texts and emails

[Anonymous]

Is everyone else receiving the same texts and emails multiple times? Both myself and my spouse are getting texts twice now. On top of being spammed repeatedly about the racism audit this is getting to be too much.

I got 5 texts and 3 emails tonight about the community engagement events. So annoying!

How can we get them to stop this?

I thought maybe I was getting things 2x because I have 2 kids in MCPS. But it does seem like I’m actually getting 3. Plus, I feel like they are communicating about so many things that I don’t have the bandwidth to engage in. Like this goals/priorities discussion (I received notifications on 3 different days, 2-3 notifications each day.)
Then the “important information from interim superintendent McKnight etc” texts: if it’s important info, just tell us the point in the text rather than making us click through to a web page and read something else.
Then the MCPS “things to know” texts. If I need to know them, please just text them instead of texting that there is another message that I need to read.


I am now at the point where I would like to complain to MCPS about that.

I find the principals’ weekly calls /emails the most relevant . Then my kids’ PTA sends out their own on the same day which is really confusing, too. I get that the PTA has its own agenda/events, but they should either reproduce the principal’s email within theirs..embed it somehow … then say, “in addition to the important reminded mentioned by the principle, we’d like to add [Ptsa event/topic etc].

3 texts, 2 emails. Good times.

I get 3 of each message also! I only have one kid, so I doubt it’s related to the number of kids you have?

Yes, multiple messages for one kid.

+1 I wish we could just opt in for 1 message. It’s overkill.

I find it reassuring that they're so devoted to community engagement.

But I don’t want them all to stop. I need to get important announcements. Once.

Let me guess you are part of the team working on this. Or, made the mistake to send out too many.

Its likely just a tech glitch. Geez you folks are easily riled. Jusr delete the extra messages.

Then they would ALL stop. That wouldn’t work.
