Phone calls from mcps at 5:40 AM

[Anonymous]

How do I change my settings?

My cell is on DND, but my landline also rang and I don’t want to turn off that ringer just in case MCPS calls.

This is OP. I have a child away in college and can't/won't turn off notifications, just incase. I will block the number they called from this morning.
I hope principal interns also understand that the emails, texts and phone calls were enough. We didn't need to jump on Remind and get that message out.there again.

Blocking the number they called from means you won’t get other critical notifications or direct calls, assuming this is the school’s main number. This is highly irresponsible to do as a parent.

Yeah, actually, they do need Remind. Because some people only use that.

You are responsible for your notification settings. Having a kid in college isn't a special YOU problem. Figure it out. Best of luck!

You can set up your do not disturb to accept calls from your favorites. You won’t miss a call from your college child if that’s what you’re worried about.

I do think the phone call thing is new this year, and disruptive. I have no landline and my cell was on DND. But I would have been irritated if a landline rang.
For the poster with college student, you can put contacts in favorites that ring through even if you have DND for everyone else.

I swear, ya’ll complain about everything. First, learn to use your do not disturb features. Secondly, nobody can complain about not knowing about the delay.

Yes they complain about everything.

OP, this is on you, not on MCPS. If you want to complain, complain about your own self. And then fix the problem for your own self.

-person who also has a landline, that can't be turned off due to elderly parents, that also rang at 5:40 am

Any idea where we do this?

I thought it would be here (https://member.everbridge.net/1332612387832009/login), but I don’t know my username or password. When I try the forgot links, it says my email address is invalid. So how am I getting notifications without an account?

My phone didn’t ring. I got a text like always. This seems like a settings problem on your end.

ParentVue. Check with the School Secretary.

We have our cell phones on do not disturb but we received a call on our home phone which has never happened with MCPS for a delay or closing. While the attendance office calls our home phone for absences, snow day info has always come by email. I need to figure out how to change the notification settings.

Oh naurrrrrr you were informed of a change in schedule in time to adjust your routine!

High school buses come very early. They waited as late as they could while still giving people notice.
