Reporting your child’s absence

Reporting Your Child Absent

To report your child as absent, you can either ring the school number and follow the options to leave a message. Your message must state the reason for the absence and provide more detail than stating they are feeling unwell. You must also indicate the likely date they will return to school. Reporting your child as absent can also be done through the EduLink app. To do this you need to:

1.      click on the Absence Reporting icon

2.      select the date range of your child’s absence using the calendars. Choose the ‘date from’ which is the beginning of the absence and the ‘date to’ which is the expected return date.

3.      input a reason for your child’s absence in the ‘Reason for Absence’ text box. Parents/guardians must state the reason for the child’s non-attendance, not just feeling unwell

4.      additionally, you can attach a document, such as a medical certificate, to provide further details of the absence if applicable

5.      click Send to report your child’s absence, or you can press the Cancel button to delete the absence.
