[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I look forward to asking the front office staff to go find my child the next time I have to pick her up early for a doctor's appointment, since I can't just send her a text that I'm here. I'm sure they'll love having to go find her.

Have you ever actually picked up your child early from school?

Unless they are a senior, they can't just sign themselves out of school without your permission. You're just too lazy to get out of the car and get your kid.

They don't "go find her." The attendance office staff - not the main office staff - looks them up on the computer to see where they are and calls into the classroom. (And before you complain about that being a disturbance to the class, remember the topic of this thread - banning phones which are far greater and far more numerous disruptions to instruction.)

Yeah the office just calls the classroom she’s in and says “Send Neurotic Mom’s kid to the office for dismissal.” This is literally so common sense easy. The kids can’t just pick up and go dismiss themselves when their mom texts so the office has to do this NO MATTER WHAT. We don’t let kids just leave the building because they claim their mom is outside getting them. [/quote]
