What A Friday!

I want to give an overview of our day at work. I am NOT using any names because I don't want to give out any identities; just want to describe the day.

Before 8:10 am:
Call comes in excusing Student A from school today. Student A is home sick.
Call comes in excusing Student B from school today. Student B is going to the doctor.

Around 10:00 am:
Call comes in from mom of Student A wanting to speak with student.
Student A NOT at school.
Look at attendance sheet with another employee and find out that Student B did get dropped off at school with father; employee SAW this take place.
Call home of Student B.
Mom thinks Student B is at school.
Inform mom that Student B is not.
Find out from brother of Student B that Student B is in Tri-Cities with friends.
Call homes of friends.
All parents believe that Students are at school.

This scenario played out not one, but TWO different, separate times within the school day. By this I mean, 2 other groups of kids, unrelated to the above scenario, with the same "not at school today" problem. CRAZY Friday! We felt like detectives instead of secretaries. It's pretty comical now, but it was not at all, going through it.

Ready for the weekend ahead. Yeah!!
