Subject: Calling parents of absent kids

Even stranger: on my son's report card yesterday, his absences were underreported significantly (he had a major medical event, so was out for a stretch.) I love my son's teachers and I'm not a public-school basher, but this level of disinterest in attendance monitoring/record-keeping seems problematic.
Our MCPS ES calls.

I actually didn't know the answer to this until today because my eighth grader hasn't been sick before. But, yes, his MCPS middle school called me and advised that I need to call the school tomorrow to provide the reason for his absence. I also got an e-mail telling me the same thing.
