From the Office

ABSENCES, LATE ARRIVALS AND EARLY DEPARTURES FROM SCHOOL

If you need to take your child EARLY FROM SCHOOL we ask that you:

• send an email to the class teacher on the day of the early withdrawal; then,

• come to the office to sign your child out and they will be called from class for you. Parents are not permitted to go the classroom directly.

   

If you need to collect your child early on a WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON after 2.45pm, all classes will be in Assembly. It would be very helpful if the teacher had prior notice, so your child has their bag with them and is seated near the door!

If your child is late or absent from school without explanation from parents, an SMS will be sent to Adult A at around 10.15am. Please respond to the SMS promptly. Please note the following:

If your child will be LATE FOR SCHOOL, you are required to come to the office when you arrive, to sign your child in or alternatively, phone the office to let us know your child has arrived late. Rolls are marked promptly at 9am. If the music has finished and your child is not yet in class, they have probably missed the roll.

If your child will be ABSENT FROM SCHOOL, we ask that you either:

• (preferred method) Log onto Compass and record the absence

• phone the school on 5427 2455 and leave a message on the absence voicemail; or

MEDICINES AT SCHOOL

There may be times when your child is well enough to come to school but may still need to take prescribed medicine (eg. Antibiotics)

In this situation we ask that any medicine be sent to school in a named container including instructions which outline dosage rates and times to be administered. The container is to be handed to the classroom teacher or office at the beginning of the day and taken home each night.
