These calls are from a system called "TeleParent". They use this 312 number as well as 213-412-1170 from Orange County, CA. It is an automated dialing system that schools from all over the country use to notify parents of school events. Sometimes they are calling to notify that a parent concerning their student's attendance. Sometimes they are calling to notify of an upcoming test or school event. Most recently, it has been used to notify parents of issues concerning the "Swine Flu". Since they are automated, and you will not be able to speak to a person, if you have an answering machine just let it pick it up to receive your message.
