Handy Links 

Please keep in mind that here at Kalinda Primary School, we use Compass newsfeed and the Kalinda newsletter to communicate with you. 

Out of respect for our environment, we will not send home paper notices unless it is deemed necessary.

You can always call us at 9876 3289 during school hours (or leave a message and we will get back to you) or email the office at kalinda.ps@education.vic.gov.au or email your child's teacher through Compass if you need clarification on any matter. 

If you need assistance with using the Compass app or QKR app, please call the office so we can arrange a time to help you.

Permission for another to collect a student from time to time,parents will need someone else to collect their child. The Department of Education asks that the attached form be completed. This form is also available on the school website. Students can be confused and upset when unexpected changes occur. If you let the office know, we can let classroom teachers know, and they will then pass the message on. 

(Obviously, in the event of an emergency, things can be organised with a phone call).
