If your child is unable to attend school for any reason you should let us know by 9:30am, calling 01555 662806 and choosing Option 1. Again, please keep us informed of any changes to your contact details. A text will be sent out if a child is absent from school to the main contact if the school does not know the reason for the absence. When the parent/carer receives the text, they should contact the school by phone. If no phone call is received, the school will send a letter to the parent/ carer asking them to get in touch. In certain circumstances, the school may seek advice from other agencies.

As soon as your child's absence drops below 90%, they will be placed on the school's Attendance Monitoring System and you will be contacted directly through a letter/phone call from Mrs Crook.

Please note that these procedures are part of South Lanarkshire Council’s Policy for Managing Pupil Absence.
