Ease my anxiety - why would primary school call me after they've closed?

[DinoNuggetsRUs]

Picked my son up (nursery at a primary school) at 2pm today for a hospital appointment, called them the day before to confirm this was ok and it was all good.
Anyway I've been at said hospital appointment and got home and realised I've got a missed call from the primary school at 3:37 when pick up is at 3:15.
My son has form for being a bit of a terror behaviour wise which I've brought up with them and spoken to them about but they've said that it's early days and they're still young so wondering whether it's about that...

I know I can ask tomorrow but it's not going to stop me losing sleep tonight.

Any reason why they would be calling after closing?

I'd try phoning them back now theg might still be there.
Could be absolutely anything they are calling for, anything from a photo to homework, incident at play time. Absolutely anything

He forgot something or they needed to confirm where he was if his leaving early wasn’t properly recorded on the register.

The one time school called me after leaving was because one of the other teachers who also has a daughter in dd’s class wanted to invite dd around that weekend for a play date, but didn’t have my number, so head teacher rang to give me her number since he couldn’t give her mine as per GDPR obviously. It’s a small school!

Teachers call after the kids have left because they can't really call during class time. Remember kids finish at 3.00 not the staff.

If it's really important they would have left a voicemail or tried to call you back.
Don't panic.
It's probably a mistake or something mundane like reminding you it's photo day tomorrow (he wasn't there at the end of the day to take home the reminder letter) or he needs to bring his PE kit or he left his lunchbox behind.

Don’t worry that’s not after closing. Someone is at our primary most nights until 7-9 depending on what’s going on. I’d bet the older ones haven’t finished school yet and certainly clubs will be on and teachers will definitely still be there for hours past pick up time.

School rang me once because they had forgotten to give me an accident form.

Yes, it could be a bump note that was forgotten about because he would have been whisked away early.

School often ring for good reasons, although more so at Secondary as you have started of the week etc at Primary.

The only call I ever got from Primary was regarding DDs writing as she wrote at length in most lessons but struggled in creative writing ie 4 lines Vs a normal page or two. - Actually turned out to be a very important call and DD is autistic and struggles with coming up with anything imaginative, didn't get the diagnosis until 6 years after that call though.

It could have been about atrip letter that needs handing in to hat they forgot to give you.

Could be about an incident at lunch time.

I certainly wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Maybe asking how he got on?

Thanks all!

I think I'm over anxious as he got kicked out of his childminders for pinching another child's face.

We've also had one incident where he's bitten (albeit the teacher said it was while they were playing and not in malice) and one where he's been being silly in the line at home time and hit another child - and they've only been in school about 3 weeks!
Teacher seems to think it's nothing but I've spoken to her about how we tackle the issues at home and we try and keep on top of it so I'm wondering whether he's lashed out again. I guess I'm more anxious about it because I'm hoping he's not getting back into that behaviour as we had a good 6 months at his last nursery without incident.

Just terrified he's going to get kicked out :(

It's not after closing for the school. That's when teachers make all thier calls as they can't really do it in class.

The worst call from school is that your child is injured and needs to go to hospital, so you know it's not that!

Hopefully it will be something very minor like they forgot to give a bump note.

If it was something urgent, they would have found time during the school day to phone.
For less vital stiff, they phone aftercare kids have left, as that is when they don't need to be teaching / caring for a load of small people!

I frequently have to call home because children have forgotten their bumped head note.

They aren't going go kick him put for minor typical 3yo behaviour. They are there to learn how to behave!

It might be that the message wasn't passed on properly that he had a hospital appointment and they weren't sure where he was

Although maybe that's more secondary school that messages don't get passed on
