When a pupil is absent from school, a letter (e-mail) or a phone call is required stating the reason for the absence. That must be done before 9:10 each morning.
The register will be kept open until 9:20a.m. everyday.
The school is using a computerised and electronic system to maintain pupils’ attendance register every day. The procedure enables the Education Authority to monitor patterns of attendance, absence and possible truancy in schools. The procedure reveals cases of absence without permission and we as a school are expected to refer (those for which we do not receive a reason) to the attention of the Education and Welfare Officer.
Medical Appointments
When a child has a medical appointment during the school day parents should let the school know when the child will be collected. No child will be allowed to leave school unless collected by a responsible adult.
It is your responsibility as a parent to notify the school of every case of absence.
