Being absent

How do I let the teachers know that my child is going to be absent from school?

If the child is going to be absent for more than 3 days, then let us know. Teachers take attendance every day and we know that kids may need a day or two off from time to time due to mild sickness during weather changes. So there is no need to send emails or absent notes for that reason. If the child is going to be absent for a longer time due to a big illness or a sports tournament etc. then let us know via either the Wal-Sh app only. Do not send us an email, as that entry will not be recorded. 

How do kids who are absent get the academic material that they have missed?

We hand over the worksheets that your child has missed out on, once the child rejoins the school. You can also refer to the “Curriculum update” section in the Wal-sh app to get the digital format of the worksheet and the presentations that the teacher has used in the class. 

Physical copies of the worksheets need to be collected from each subject teacher separately. Those respective teachers have them in their files for the absent students. So when the students come back to the classroom, in their next subject period those sheets will be handed over to them by each teacher separately. Students and parents can refer to the digital copies in the app in the meantime.
