Is power back on? Also, I used that road to get to Target and the driving was always crazy. It's parents, sure, but elementary parents be they Mck or AtS.

Anyway, is the power back on? My kid really wants to go to school tomorrow. They love the new building FWIW.

+1 and get off the cell phones! 😫

There all scrambling to fill out those stupid screener questions. A very dangerous unintended consequence, someone is going to die by a distracted parent trying to complete them.

My phone timed out of the screener after I filled it out at home, then trying to unlock and navigate back. It's awful. I wish they could just check on their ipad when I give them ourname.

Your school is checking??

ATS Is not

I received an email and a text about 45 minutes before bus pick up time. A little while later, one of my kid’s teachers also emailed. Are you signed up for the alerts?

Deal! We'll take it back as a neighborhood school! lol

That’ll probably happen, I guess, but not for a few years.

That side of Dominion Hills and Madison Manor, where the ATS building is, loses power fairly easily. A few times McKinley had a delayed start over the years due to power failures. Presuming as ATS it will result in cancellation instead since kids are coming from all over the county instead of the nearby neighborhoods.

Regarding the daily health questionnaire, our MS principal said that APS wants to capture positive symptoms and diagnoses. I filled it out the first day, but no more until one of the kids has actual symptoms.

Ridiculous, the screener is not required this year. are you even an APS parent still? Guessing this is a private school or virtual parent who doesn’t know the protocols trying to dump on APS.

The messaging is terrible about whether it's required or not. APS says not required but highly encouraged but some schools have sent emails indicating it is in fact required. Do you think parents aren't filling them out in carpool lanes because they may be misinformed?

Our school asked us to fill ours out daily.

Parents aren’t filling it out in carpool lanes because it’s a dangerous act. Paying attention to the road/not running over a kid is 1000% more of a safety protocol than filling out a silly form that’s not even required. The point is, parents slow down and get off your phones.
