What Day? What Week? What Month? How Many 110k+ Per Year School Officials Do We Have? TOUCH BASE?

The below message was sent and received on Wednesday, November 19th from Annapolis HS. Please read it carefully and see if anything about it makes any sense to you. Sent on the day of the event? The day and date don't work. Did he mean November 24th? We are all waiting for the correction notice.....Don't miss the typo in red!:

Parent teacher Conferences

This is Principal Don Lilley with a message abouat Parent Teacher Conferences. On Monday, November 19 we will have Touch Base Parent Conferences for all Parents. This is a great way to touch base with your child's teacher to monitor their success. No appointments are needed - just stop by the cafeteria to see your child's teacher between the hours of 7 am - 11 am or from 3pm to 7 pm. Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday, November 19!

A new notice came a day or so later, but it did not mention that it was a correction to the previous notice. It also has a typo in it, which I have shown in red. Also teacher was lower case above and upper case below. They also changed the hours slightly. Do you think it should have mentioned that this was a correction?:

On Monday, November 24th Annapolis High School will have Touch Base Parent Teacher conferences for all parents. This is a great way to have a short 4 minute conference with your child's teachers to monitor their success. No appointments are necessary - just stop by the cafeteria to see your child's teachers from 7:30 am to 10:00 am or from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm in the evening. If you cannont attend or believe this time is insufficient for your concerns, please contact your child's school counselor at 410-266-5240 to schedule a formal Parent/Teacher conference. If you need transportation, please call Annapolis High at 410-266-5240. We look forward to seeing you on Monday, November 24th.


CP asks, do you think four minutes is insufficient time to speak with your child's teacher? As for transportation, Annapolis Transit buses come to within a short walk of the school three times per hour. Why would anyone need the school to provide transportation?

Let's get together and figure out how to prevent someone who writes (and thinks) as poorly as the author of those 2 notices does -- whether the notices were written by the school principal or not -- from appearing in print in view of our children. Read the notices again. If only the items marked in red were the ONLY examples of poor writing and inadequate thinking .....
