An incident earlier this week involving a Dry Hollow Elementary School student being directed to the wrong place to be picked up by a parent turned out to simply be a case of miscommunication rather than foul play. In a joint statement, The Dalles Police Department and North Wasco County School District 21 said they learned parents of two different students called the school within minutes of each other, and the message intended for one student was accidentally sent to another. The message directed the wrong student to walk to a day care where the student was to remain until the parent could pick that child up. In their statement, police and the school district said it was a relief that the event was a simple mistake and not a more ominous event.
