Antiquated Way of calling in a bus ride absence:
Many parents do not call in a students absence from the bus because of archaic methods. It used to be that you would need to:
– Pick up the phone and call a central number
– Wait for the prompts, and then hope you select the right prompt (for those who English is not their primary language, this can be confusing)
– Leave a voicemail (possibly even embarrassing if they have a heavy accent or don’t speak the language well)
– The school must wait for someone to come in and pick up all the voicemails.
– Then they will need to transpose that information on a piece of paper (hopefully correctly and legibly).
– That person will then need to walk that paper over to the dispatcher
