This includes students who ride buses and those who walk to school. <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>On these days, the message will ask you to call us back only if your child should be at school (i.e. they were dropped off or walked to school that day). If we don't hear from you, we will assume that you are aware that your child is absent. <br></strong></span></p><p><span class="x_ms-rteThemeBackColor-1-0">Parents CANNOT opt out of this <span data-markjs="true" class="marki0e3yx0wa">safe</span> <span data-markjs="true" class="markesplmqnw3">arrival</span> program.
