Absences
It is a Departmental of Education requirement that parents provide a letter explaining a child’s absence from school for short or long term or partial ie; part of a day.
Medication
Asthma medication should be kept in the student’s schoolbag and the office, and a copy of the Asthma Management Plan prepared by your doctor. All other medication MUST be kept at the office and parents will need to complete a medical form giving details of doses and times. If your child has any allergies or medical conditions that may require urgent treatment our school needs an Action Plan.
Could I kindly ask for all students to donate a box of tissues for our class. Over the coming months we will be needing them.
