Babysitter has to call to find out if phones are working instead of schools sending affected families a message if and once they are fixed?


I assume they’ll send out a message once they are working. If not, that’s poor form.

I would try and email both the teacher AND the secretaries. Teachers don’t always have time to check their emails, especially if their lunch is over now.

Or email like a normal human in 2024.


Internet down
Assume student doesn't have phone in ES (put away, locked whatever they call it). Expect teacher will check their email on their own plan?


More than likely, yes - it's 2024


You reimbursing teacher for that plan?


No, just like they aren't reimbursing MCPS for internet and electricity for charging their phones.

If it weren't a one-off the approach might be different.

We have not gotten any notification that Silver Creek is back up yet (after receiving the notification that it was down this morning).
