[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS doesn't call. I always call when my son is sick but he's not sick much, and by their response, I often feel a little weird - like maybe I'm the only parent who calls the office with this info? I also email his teacher. I wish I knew the right protocol (and I wish that they would call to confirm an absence.)[/quote] Elementary might not, but most HS do. I used to work in an MCPS elem before I took some leave, but the policy was a phone call after two consecutive days. It was a personal call, not a robocall, and the secretary would keep calling until she spoke to a parent. The main goal was to prevent truancy though, not to foil an abduction. But I know I had to race back to my house and intercept the MCPS robocall when I skipped in high school. Good times, good times.[/quote]
