April FoolB次元官网网址檚 fun went a bit too far for some parents at an elementary school in Abbotsford over the weekend.
The principal of Irene Kelleher Tot铆:ltawtxw sent an email to all of the schoolB次元官网网址檚 parents, informing them that their child had been assigned to detention.
B次元官网网址淚t was brought to my attention that your child was involved in an incident today at lunch,B次元官网网址� the email stated. B次元官网网址淚t was not pretty. People cried and no one was laughing. Luckily there were no serious injuries to others.B次元官网网址�
Several parents at the school posted screenshots of the email to social media channels, and contacted The B次元官网网址 anonymously. They were upset that the principal would send out such an email without it being immediately obvious it was a prank.
She then told all the parents to send their children to the school B次元官网网址渢omorrow,B次元官网网址� which was Sunday, April 2.
B次元官网网址淒o not pack any snacks but please send with a water bottle and a thick book. Staff are required to be there too, but I donB次元官网网址檛 anticipate they will be super happy.B次元官网网址�
Parents were instructed that the detention assignment would end at noon and they could B次元官网网址渃ollectB次元官网网址� their children then.
The email is signed Mrs. (Shelley) Portas and includes a post script that clarifies the email was in jest.
B次元官网网址淚f you get there early and no one is there yet, please feel free to collect litter from around the property. Just be sure to leave at noon B次元官网网址� when April fools day jokes are over! Have an amazing weekend everyone!!B次元官网网址�
The school district was quick to respond to a clarification request from The B次元官网网址 regarding this type of email communication. The districtB次元官网网址檚 manager of communications, Kayla Stuckart, said they are aware of the email and it was followed up later on April 1.
B次元官网网址淲e are B次元官网网址� have reminded the principal about appropriate conduct for parent and family communication,B次元官网网址� Stuckart said.
B次元官网网址淎 follow-up email was sent to the school community on April 1st to clarify the intention of the April FoolB次元官网网址檚 joke and apologize for any stress that may have been caused by the original message.B次元官网网址�
