Attendance: EVERY DAY COUNTS
Congratulations to M1A for being the class with the best attendance for the fortnight.
REPORTING OF STUDENT ABSENCES
As we all know, children who get to school each day have a better chance of learning and succeeding in school. When they miss school, they also miss valuable learning time and this can make them fall behind in their school work.
At Karingal Primary school we value attendance, which also includes the reporting of student absence.
It is a requirement, when a student is absent from school, the school is notified as early as possible about the absence and the reason for it.
HOW TO REPORT A STUDENT’S ABSENCE
If a student’s absence has not been reported, the school will provide a follow up call to parents/guardians/caregivers to gain the reason for the absence.
