Important : Action needed NOW if your child is absent.
The School Attendance Policy is as follows and starts NOW. 10:00 am on Monday 30NOv2020.
Due to the large number of absences, we have changed the School attendance policy to be as follows :
1 : If a student registered as FullTimeInSchool is absent from school AND they send a WhatsApp to 71 183 559 (between 08:00 am and 12:00 noon) they will be marked as DeclaredAbsent. Two days of DeclaredAbsent (in 10 days) are permissible, however on the THIRD day (in 10 days) of DeclaredAbsent the students will be taken OFF the list of FullTimeInSchool, IF there is someone on the waiting list to enter the class. They will be informed by 3:00 pm when they have been taken off the FullTimeInSchool list and moved to OnlineEveryday and the person on the waiting list will be informed that they have been moved from OnlineEveryday to FullTimeInSchool.
2 : If a student registered as FullTimeInSchool is absent from school AND they DO NOT send a WhatsApp to 71 183 559 they will be marked as UndeclaredAbsent. After one day of UndeclaredAbsent the student will IMMEDIATELY be taken OFF the list of FullTimeInSchool, IF there is someone on the waiting list to enter the class. They will be informed by 3:00 pm when they have been taken off the FullTimeInSchool list and moved to OnlineEveryday and the person on the waiting list will be informed that they have been moved from OnlineEveryday to FullTimeInSchool.
Some of my advisors have said that the above is VERY difficult to understand. Here is a summary :
The notice is only for those students who have been registered as FullTimeInSchool. It is about them being removed as FullTimeInSchool students.
There are two types of absence from school : DeclaredAbsent and UndeclaredAbsent
- DeclaredAbsent : The student is NOT physically in school but a WhatsApp message has been sent to 71 183 559 between 08:00 am and 12:00 noon informing the school of your absence.
- UnDeclearedAbsent : The student is NOT physically in school and NO WhatsApp message has been sent.
You will be REMOVED from the FullTimeInSchool list IF :
- You are DeclaredAbsent for more than 2 days out of 10.
- You are UnDeclaredAbsent for a day
