Absences

‍ ‍Absence Procedure

There is a dedicated message line on our telephone system for absences. Please telephone 489 3823 and press 1, or email absences@taieri.school.nz

‍ If you are leaving a message on our automated service, please provide a reason for the absence. The MOE has a coding system for absences and any absences that are unexplained must be coded as truant.  If any parent/caregiver leaves a message that simply says that their child won’t be in without any reason this will need to be coded as truant.    Please give a specific reason for your child’s absence.‍
