Attendance & Absences
Attendance at school is compulsory
Any absences should be explained by replying to the sms that is sent to parents daily via the School Bytes app.
Alternatively you can email the school themeadows-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au or send a signed and dated note completed by the parent/carer with your child next time they attend school. The reason for the absence should be stated. If your child is sick, please explain symptoms so that the school is aware of what type of illnesses are present in the school.
The school should be emailed or telephoned if a child will be absent for more than two days.
Arriving Early to School
The school formally opens at 8:20am each morning when teachers begin playground duty. Children are not to arrive prior to this time as there will be no supervision available.
Late to School
It is important that parents/carers endeavour to get their children to school on time, as the morning learning session focuses on literacy and numeracy skills children need. Rolls are marked electronically, any child who arrives to school late must report to the office for a late slip that will be then given to the classroom teacher. A sms will be sent to parents daily via the School Bytes app, please reply to the sms with the reason for your child's late arrival.
Home School Liaison Officers work with the school to assist children whose attendance at school is unsatisfactory.
