Dear AACPS,

Do you remem­ber when you bought that Connnect-​Ed system to “alert par­ents to emer­gen­cies and other impor­tant issues and events through­out the school system?” Yeah, that was great. But lately, I’ve been get­ting a little frus­trated with the mes­sages you’ve been leav­ing on my answer­ing machine. Maybe we have dif­fer­ent def­i­n­i­tions of “emergencies” and “important issues,” but last night’s mes­sage about how there’d be more locally grown pro­duce in school lunches didn’t meet that cri­te­ria for me.

Maybe it’s just that I was feel­ing sick, or maybe it was the way it woke me up from a dead sleep, but I’m really tired of that crap. Is there a way to stop receiv­ing the, shall we say, “completely bull­shit messages,” and still get the actual emer­gency noti­fi­ca­tions? That’d be great.

Thanks!

Jemal
