Each time a parent calls to leave a message for their child, office staff must answer the phone, write up the message, and frequently interrupt the class to deliver it. This not only requires a significant amount of secretarial energy and effort, it is also disruptive to the classroom learning process. The size of the school further increases the problem.
Parents can assist by confining their requests to emergency situations.
Poper planning and communication between parent and child can eliminate the need for most phone calls. Rainy day messages are also very problematic. Making plans in advance in case of inclement weather would be helpful. Teaching children to be more responsible and letting them accept the consequences of their actions may be a useful learning experience. Your cooperation in not asking staff to relay non-emergency messages would be appreciated.
