All children are expected to be on time for learning each morning. They are encouraged to be at school at least 15 minutes before the start of learning time, as this allows them to get organized for the day and catch up with their friends.
If children are absent from school for any reason it is expected that the school will be notified that day by 9am. If there is no notification, the school office staff will contact families to ensure this is supposed to be the case and the child is safe.
