[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Thank you very much for your helpful responses! In the instances where you have been called as an emergency contact (or someone was called as an emergency contact for your child), why weren’t they able to get in touch with you? I’m not asking judgmentally. I’m trying to problem solve ahead of time so that this doesn’t come up. I don’t want to carry my personal phone into all of my meetings at work, but I can. (We don’t have a receptionist or anyone who could be called in an emergency.) Would that have solved the problem? Or were you flying/ down in the metro/ something else I’m not thinking of?[/quote]

I carry my phone with me at all times.  This isn't hard. my emergency contact is for when I am unreachable/incapacitated, not because I don't want to carry my phone with me[/quote]

Not everyone can. There are a good number of people in this area who work in secured enviroments and are not allowed to have cell phones on them or even in their office. Heck, try wearing a Fitbit or Apple watch in some areas, not going to happen. Honestly, it is easier for me to check my email then it is for me to check my phone. And yes, I list that on my emergency contact information but I doubt that a Principal is going to email me when they can’t get me on my cell phone.[/quote]
