Communicating Your Son’s Absence/Late Arrival

Communicating Your Son’s Absence/Late Arrival

If your son is going to be absent from school, or if he will be arriving late, please contact the school before 9.00am by:

Email: absentees@bps.sa.edu.au

SMS: 0438 483 997 (Note: new number communicated to parents recently. The old number is no longer in use and messages sent will not be received. Please update your phone contacts – this number does not accept phone calls)

Phone: 8169 3900 (press 1 for absentees)

Please include your son’s full name, Class/Home Group and the reason for the absence/late arrival in your message.

If your son is not present during Home Group/roll call a text message will be sent to the primary parent/guardian.

If it is necessary for your son to be dismissed early from school, please ensure he has a signed note in his school diary. He will need to have this note signed by his Class/Home Group Teacher prior to signing out at the Student Office.

Note: ELC children absences/late arrivals should still be communicated direct to the Early Learning Centre by phoning 8169 3955 after 7.30am.
