Miss Tick Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 is it counted like a snow day? I live close to the school and retrieved dd before we even got official notification, but I'm a little shaky now! So glad she had her cell phone. 1 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Oh my goodness, I’m glad you’ve already picked her up! Lots of hugs today. No idea on how it’s counted, just hoping everyone is ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Tick Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Thanks. My question was really tongue in cheek, which is my way of countering stress with humor. I haven't heard of any actual injuries. I'm hoping it was all in the name of caution. I'm expecting renewed home school requests from dd, though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Usually early dismissals don't count as a missed day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I’m so glad your daughter is ok. I think it depends on the state. I think in my state school districts choose between counting hours or counting days, but I’m pretty school all of that was ignored after a school shooting in a nearby district. Idk if there are exceptions after emergencies or terror events, or how they got away with that legally. Maybe they were counting on forgiveness rather than permission.

Arcadia Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) It is still counted as a school day. We had a neighborhood wide shelter in place which included two schools because of an armed robber. ETA: Here school evacuations are more likely because of a hazmat situation though. For active shooter situations we default to shelter in place. If it is a K-5 school, they let parents pick up the kids once the school boundaries shelter in place order is lifted.

Miss Tick Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 I'm encouraged by the lack of new news that the incident was not, in the end, serious. Someone called in a threat from inside the building and I imagine their life will never be the same. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope your dd isn’t very upset; an incident like that is bound to create a sense of vulnerability for the students.

Usually we get the updates through the local Nixle alert system before the social media post from the local police department. Here, people would “joke” that called in threats to schools are because someone doesn’t want to take an exam. It is people’s way of diffusing the tension.
