Attendance Notes

For any whole day absence, parents will need to access their Compass parent portal and log the absence before 11am on the day their child is not at school.  If you fail to do this you will receive a Compass alert requesting that you explain your child’s absence on the day your child is away.  The school must receive notification of the reason for the absence within 7 days of the return to school. In the event that an explanation is not supplied the absence will be recorded as Unjustified/Unexplained.  

Partial Absences

Please do not enter an attendance note if your child has a partial absence (eg; arriving late or leaving early). These will be entered by office staff when you are in the foyer to drop off or collect your children.

If your child arrives late to school without an adult accompanying them to explain the partial absence, this will be entered as unexplained.
