Attendance and Absence from School

Regular attendance is a major contributing factor to a child’s successful education. It is crucial that children attend school regularly and those absences kept to a minimum.

A brief note addressed to the class teacher is required under provisions of the Education Act to explain ALL absences from school. The note must be supplied immediately following an absence, stating the dates and reason why the student was unable to attend school. A medical certificate may be required to explain extended absences.

If a student is going to be away for an extended period of time, please fill out the appropriate form available from the school front office and submit it for the Principal’s approval at least 2 weeks prior.

Teachers appreciate the courtesy of being advised in advance of an absence where possible as this has a huge impact on daily activities and programs run in classrooms.
