Attendance - 'How To' On Compass

Attendance Reminder

A gentle reminder that all full-day absences and holidays must be recorded on Compass.

If your child is only going to be late to school, there is no need to log this on Compass beforehand. Simply sign them in using the Compass Kiosk at the school office upon arrival.

If your child will be absent for the entire day, please enter a full-day absence on Compass and provide a reason. If you require assistance, please contact the school office.
