Office news 

Outstanding Attendances

With end of year approaching, parents are reminded that all outstanding student absences must be explained before the last day of school.  This is a simple procedure in Compass (see attached Compass guide - page 10) and if you need assistance, please contact our friendly staff in the school office.

 

Parent Payments

 2023 Parent Payment letters have now been sent home to each family.  Payments may be made through Compass or at the school office. Please speak with office staff if you would like to make payment plan arrangements.

 

Payment Methods

Payments can be made via Compass as the preferred option, Credit Card or cash (filling in details on the Parent Payment form and returning it to the school office) during school hours between now and Tuesday 6th December. On Thursday 8th December, book packs will be distributed to your child/ren to take home. 

 

An additional book pack distribution day has been organised for Thursday 15th December for any payments received after 6th December.

 

For any payments made after 15th December, a third distribution day is planned for Wednesday 25th January 2023 for collection from the school between 10am and 1pm.

 

For a confidential discussion about your individual circumstances and the options available to you, please contact the school’s Principal or Business Manager on 03 9759 6222 or email karoo.ps@education.vic.gov.au.

 

 

 

Not returning to Karoo in 2023?

If your child is currently in Foundation-Year 5 and will be attending a different school in 2023, please let the office know so preparations can be made to transfer the necessary student data to the new school.  Exit forms have been sent home for signing and return to the school office to those families who have already notified us.

  

For all students leaving the school (including Year 6s), please remember that once your child has been exited from our system, you will no longer be able to access your Compass portal or your child's school reports.  Please ensure you print them out or download them onto a difference device prior to the end of the year.
