I have noticed that many of you are texting me to report an absence instead of using the call-out line. Please follow the procedure provided during orientation:

• To report that you will be off work or sick, you MUST call 510-777-8610. Texting me does not replace this requirement.

• If your next shift starts in less than one hour, you must ALSO text or call 510-919-3514.

Some of you have also been calling or texting Paul, thinking his number is the call-out line. Paul’s number is not the call-out line.

Please save 510-777-8610 in your phone as “Crossing Guard Call-Out Line” and use it every time you report an absence.
