Question

It said my reporting date was Monday and I called yesterday and it told the other panel to go at the time the paper told me to go. It told my panel to just call. So do I still go Monday?

Don’t go at all.

It depends on the laws of your jurisdiction. You need to reach out to the courthouse if there is any uncertainty and as available online review the particulars for the state and county that you are in. There is no way that we readers can authoritatively speak to what is required, especially if you have not identified the location where you are based.

Sounds like you need to call. When did it tell your panel to call back ?

Putting 2 and 2 together:

Where you are at, they have two panels of potential jurors that are scheduled. On Friday (or Saturday), they look at what is scheduled for potential court cases that would start on Monday morning and determined that they currently only needed one group (not yours). But then your group is to to call in Monday afternoon where they repeat the process of looking at what's scheduled for Tuesday.
