Webinar topics are as follows:

Attendance

At Teesdale Primary School, we prioritise regular school attendance. 

 

We will work with families to ensure students are in class with their peers and teachers and enjoying all the benefits that brings. 

 

Attending school every day means experiencing what counts, the learning, friendship, fun and opportunities that can shape your child’s future.

 

We understand that there are times when your child will need to miss school but to ensure minimal disruption to their education, please consider scheduling family holidays or medical/dental appointments outside of school time.

 

If your child is well enough to attend but is worried about friendships, schoolwork or a certain aspect of their day, please encourage them to come to school. Avoiding school can make these feelings worse and can create a negative pattern of behaviour. 

 

If your child is having difficulty attending school, talk to their teacher, Mr Lindsay (wellbeing), Miss Barnett or Mr Irwin.

 

We know that parents and carers can be juggling challenges daily to get your children to school. If your child must miss school, notify us as soon as possible via Sentral or the School Office so we can work together to support them.

Remember, Every Day Counts.
