Attendance
Just a reminder that it is a department requirement if a student is not at school that we record the reason they are absent. You can easily do this on Compass by clicking on the shortcuts button in the middle at the bottom of the home screen and click 'Submit for Attendance'.
Enter reason via the drop down. i.e. medical illness, family holiday, etc...
Comment: any other comments you might want to add regarding the reason.
Enter start and finish dates and click save.
Note: Extended absences of 5 or more days require Principal approval. Please send a written request for an extended absence via email somerville.ps@education.vic.gov.au as early as possible. An absence learning plan will then be provided by the classroom teacher, as required by the Department of Education and Training.
