Compass: Absences, late arrivals & early departures
Whole Day Absences
Parents are responsible for keeping up-to-date approvals for their children’s absences on Compass. A short message will appear above your newsfeed – please click on the link where you will see a list of times that your child was absent from school.
Late Arrivals and Early Departures
Students who arrive ‘LATE' to or ‘LEAVE EARLY' from the school must also have “approvals” logged by parents.
Please note that these approvals can only be recorded after the fact as they are “time stamped” by Compass. Parents/Carers are not to pre-approve these partial day absences.
All students who arrive late to school must report to the office to ensure they are not marked as absent for the first session; parents will need to accompany the students on these occasions as we are unable to take responsibility for students as they walk from the car into the school grounds. Similarly students must always be signed out by a parent or carer who is listed as a student contact. If your child is being signed out by someone who is not authorised to do so, that adult must bring a letter of authority with them.
