Dear Podunk Town High School Students,
This is a letter advising you to beware of the new attendance lady.
She’s a tough sort…quick to love but also quick to turn your name in if you even attempt to skip school.
You see, the name of my office is no longer “Attendance” but “CSI Attendance.”
Ms. D and I have been tasked with investigating all signs of skipping school.
We love our jobs.
And we’re good.
How good, you might wonder?
So good that my first day “officially” on the job, I nabbed two of you. Let me just say that there were some unhappy mamas who walked through those doors to claim your bodies.
Now, I realize I can’t catch all of you, just as any ordinary patrolman can’t catch every speeder. However, beware if you are the one the sirens go off for.
You will be hauled away…sent to the jail we call Detention. Repeat offenders will be moved to a higher security prison — ISS (that’s In-School Suspension for all of you innocent ones). It’s not a fun place. Trust me.
Love,
Mrs. AuburnChick, AI (Attendance Investigator)
