No...when I was a student in the same school system, the office called the parents by 10am to let them know their child was absent from school.

I don't understand why they changed to policy to wait until 6pm rather than almost immediately.

I suppose if a school doesn't make the call at all, a 6pm call is better than nothing.

No one home and too difficult to track working parents?

You'd think cell numbers would make it easier.
