Attendance information
How is the school to monitor attendance during the stay-at-home restrictions introduced by the Premier from 5pm Saturday 14th August?
- There will be minimal supervision on site at our school for those students who cannot be educated at home, for example if their parent or carer is an essential worker
- All students and families will be supported with learning from home materials and resources. Each student will be considered to be participating in a flexible timetable when they complete learning activities set by their teacher
- Evidence of the completed learning activities will need to be sent to the school each school day. This can be a shared photo of a work sample sent to the school email stuartspt-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au or posted on ClassDojo
Unexplained absence
- A 2-day attendance monitoring phone call will be made to students who have not participated in learning from home for 2 consecutive days
- If after 7 calendar days there has been no advice from the parents, these absences should be recorded as an unexplained absence
- What should schools do if a student does not participate in any learning activities set by their teacher and the parent/carer does not provide an explanation? Schools should record these absences as an unexplained absence
What should schools do if a parent/carer advises the school that their child is sick and unable to participate in any learning activities set by their teacher?
- For children who become sick, as notified by their parent, the absences should be recorded as sick
