Teachers also appreciate an email or note in the student agenda to explain any special circumstances pertaining to an absence (e.g. lengthy or regular absences).

Student Sign In & Out

Sign Out:

When picking up your child during school hours, you can either come in to sign your child out (on our iPad system), or call the office once you arrive at the school and we can do this for you, office staff will then bring your child to you outside of the school.

Sign In:

If your child is late or returning from being signed out, they are required to check in at the office.

• are picked up by their parent/guardian or emergency contact, and they sign out at the office.

• have a note, dated and signed by the parent. We request that permission by parents not be given unless special circumstances exist.
