To comply with the ‘School Education Act 1999’ all children should attend school unless sick. A written or verbal explanation is required for each and every absence from school. When a child is absent from school for any reason, parents are asked to send a note stating the reasons for the absence, when the child returns to school.
If your child/ren is absent without an explanation, an attendance SMS message will come from Compass: LedaPS at 9.30am and 12.30pm via a secure link.
- Use the link to provide an attendance note about your child’s absence.
- The link is valid for 48 hours only.
- Do not reply directly to the SMS, as the school will not receive it.
- Ensure your phone has mobile data or Wi-Fi access to open the link.
School Attendance is very important.
The Department of Education regulations requires a verbal or written explanation from the child’s parent/guardian as to why your child was absent from school. If your child is to be away for an extended period of time you will need to inform the Principal.
