Attendance
“School attendance is the most crucial prerequisite for quality education – students cannot learn if they are not in school” - Education Counts.
Effective monitoring of attendance is an important part of how we safeguard our students. From next week we will be introducing an early notification text and email system to alert whaanau when students have not arrived to school in the morning. With our growing numbers of day students, this will help us to work more effectively with whaanau to track student absence and ensure our young people are arriving safely to school.
You will receive a text and email at 10 a.m. if your child has not been marked present at school.
As we trial this new system, your feedback is welcomed.
