MOUNTVIEW SCHOOL EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENT ATTENDANCE

Regular attendance at Mountview School is important to your child’s success and there is a clear connection between going to school regularly and doing well in the classroom. Making sure students attend and engage in learning is a shared responsibility. As a parent, you are responsible for making sure your child attends school every day. If your child is going to be absent for any reason it is essential that you let us know as soon as possible. It is important that you phone us/send us an email/message us on Hero to confirm your child’s absence and provide us with the reason. We acknowledge that there are genuine reasons students may occasionally be absent. However, without regular attendance your child will struggle to make progress. If your child is absent regularly, or for extended periods, we will reach out to you to discuss the situation. We are committed to supporting your child to attend school. If you’re having difficulty getting your child to school, you can ask for support by:

• speaking with your child’s teacher,

• sending us a message on Hero

• calling us on 378 8488 and ask to speak to Kaela in the office.

We can work with you to develop a support plan that addresses any barriers to regular attendance. More information on attendance, including your rights and responsibilities as parents or caregivers, is available on the Ministry of Education’s webpage: Attendance

Mountview School is required to follow up on all absences and put plans in place with Whanau if absences reach a worrying stage (more than 5 days in a term).
