ATTENDANCE

We believe that good attendance is an important factor contributing to the academic success of students. To keep you informed of your child?s class attendance in a timely manner, we will be using SchoolConnects to notify you by phone and email whenever your child is marked absent from class. The phone calls are usually made to your home phone in the early evening. If you have a personal mobile phone, you have the choice of having SchoolConnects call your mobile phone to ensure that you personally get the messages. Upon receiving an absence notice, please call the school office, send an email or send in a written note to let us know the reason for the absence. If you do not want SchoolConnects to call you, please notify us at 250-342-9213. We will remove your contact information from the distribution list.

If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact Roxann Rad @ 250-342-9213 ext 4520 or email roxann.rad@sd6.bc.ca.
