Default And ANOTHER school calendar change

We get email today from the principal notifying us that Dec 1, the
monday after T'giving, is now a school day whilst before it was a day
off.

I give up. I'll just send the kids to school when I feel like it, and
the heck with the calendar.

Actually, that's one of the biggest problems in my inner city school. Our
attendance rate is great, but we have a substantial number of parents who
bring their children in an hour or more late on a daily basis. My first
period class usually is missing at least 2-3 students, who will end up
coming in either part way through the period, or during second or maybe
third.

Similarly, some of the parents start picking students up as much as an hour
early. In some cases, these are the same children.


Any idea why they do it?

Do all of the parents in the district have email connections?
Is this how they normally communicate such things?

I don't know. Maybe I missed it. Either way, it's a simple
question. I wonder because it wouldn't work *at all* here, since
probably a good chunk of the parents do not have email.
Hence the question.

I would think email would be *one* way of communicating these things,
but not necessarily the *only* way of communication.

That pretty much sums things up.
