Anyone know what is going on?

It was a false report of a potentially threatening individual entering campus. All is well.

I want to give a shout out to the TPMS principal Ms. Martin. Thanks for the phone call to parents with detailed timeline. I am so thrilled to see the transparency and clarity of communications from our leaders. Well done team !

Yes, they do a great job communicating with us. I genuinely appreciate their open and timely communications.

Sure, but what a mess up that parents heard about it first from PBES principal instead. So strange.

Principals usually have to deal with an incident as it's unfolding, instead of spending time emailing parents.

A good manager knows how to delegate so these things are taken care of...

I mean, maybe the PBES principal should have slowed their roll to ensure appropriate communications protocols?

Possibly but emails are queued so the order in which you get them isn't realtime or always indicative of when they were sent. My partner often gets them long before or after me.

PBES P? That makes no sense at all. Did the email originate from there?

You missed the point entirely. Why did the principal email the nearby elementary school with details before she emailed parents?

The email was sent from TPMS to PBES and who knows who else, but not parents. About ten or 15 mins later another longer more detailed but substantially similar message was sent to parents, along with a robocall. It wasn’t a big deal at the end of the day but some parents had been freaking out with not knowing what was going on and it was surprising to hear first from PBES.

Quickly emailing a nearby school that might also have to deal with an issue - before emailing parents who can do nothing but worry - is appropriate.

The nearby school was not impacted. But parents were.
