That's merely your opinion.

Since it's dealing with Wow and considering we are always urged to use caution, that seems like a rather silly question but I'll answer it anyway. Absolutely.

It's a school. Schools have phones and the majority of them have websites. I would hope they are prepared for the phone to ring.

I don't think I really need to give you a lesson on how to find a phone number.

Where does it all end?

I kind of had a feeling, and this last statement just verified, that regardless of what I say or what the topic of conversation is you will find something wrong with it and want to nitpick, be argumentative, and/or combative.
The way things are with security and Wow, I find absolutely nothing wrong with calling up a company to inquire about the validity of something on their website. We are consistently reminded that we should be safe when dealing with any website regarding Wow. Making a phone call because you wish to be safe isn't hurting anyone.
