If a child is unable to attend school, parents will need to send a note with their child on his/her return to school stating the reason for the absence. If parents know that their child will be absent for three or more days, they need to notify the school. Absences can also be telephoned through to the school and a ‘verbal notification of absence’ form will be completed and given to the absent child’s class teacher. The school does not accept emails to explain why a child is absent.
Late Arrivals and Early Leavers:
Under Department of Education and Training regulations parents are required to take their child to the relevant site office for a late arrival or early departure from school. Parents will need to accompany their child and complete the Early Leavers/Late Arrival book. The child will then be given a pass to give to their class teacher upon entering the classroom. It is a legal requirement that all absences, late arrivals and early leavers are recorded in the class roll. |
