[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have received repeated notices from DCPS via text and by mail telling us that our 7th grader has missed three days of school this year.  The notes ask us to "reach out if we need support" and to "make a plan to attend every day" and telling us that "attending every day will keep them on track".

These absences were all excused (for doctor's appointments), something that the mail notice from DCPS even specifically acknowledged.

Has anyone else experienced this?  Do we need to be worried?  I support efforts to help kids attend school and to avoid truancy but contacting parents with kids who have a small number of excused absences seems like overkill.     [/quote]

I just posted about the same issue in another thread. Yes, receiving the same plus texts and voicemails. My kid was really sick for a week. We even sent in a doctor’s note. I’m not worried, but as a rule follower, I’m annoyed and feel weirdly guilty. Also there’s a number on my letter to call if you want to stop receiving them. You might search the fine print.[/quote]
