If your child is going to be away from school for a length of time because of sickness or family requirements please let the school know. Absences do affect your child’s learning and it is a legal requirement that your child attends school. If your child has been away for more than 2 days, the class teacher or school personnel will follow up your child’s absence. More than 3 weeks without notice or contact from the school and your child’s name must be legally removed from the school system.
