Office News…

Late Students If your child comes to school late they must come to the office for a late note. Unless you accompany them, phone in or send a note this is an unexplained absence (even if it is only 5 or 10 minutes), and you will receive a letter asking you to explain. This is an audit requirement and was mentioned in a recent audit at school, so we would appreciate it if you could assist us to cut down on paperwork and your time by explaining each partial absence as it arises. As has always been the case, if you need to take your children early please come to the office for a pass. Thank you for your understanding.
