If you are in school, that's usually a good enough reason to postpone jury duty. Try emailing/calling them again.

I sent an email. I'll probably wait a little while to call back and hopefully I can get someone who will actually talk with me.

I thought there is an automated system that allows you to postpone.

It's too late to postpone it says. Just called again and talked to someone much nicer who told me next time I need to postpone earlier.

The annoying part is they summoned me today so I took off work, but today was only the "Orientation" which was 15 minutes long... Why can't it all just be on the same day!?!

You didn’t get notification? I had jury duty last week (orientation on Jan 17) but I got my notification of summons in the mail on like Dec 20something.

Well missing Jury duty would be far worse than missing the first day, e-mail your teachers and explain the situation so that they know you have no choice on not being in class
