SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
The School Roll Call – 10.10 am each morning.
The school is obliged to make a report to TUSLA -
With regard to absence from school it has been school policy for some years now for a letter of explanation to be sent in to the school when the pupil returns after being out of school. Under TUSLA regulations this letter must state the exact reason why the pupil was absent.
If a letter is not received on the day the child returns to school the school will send out a reminder text.
We, as a school, are obliged to keep these letters and at the end of October, January, March and June we have to send details of all absences as outlined in 1) and 2) above to TUSLA
Over the past few years we have noticed a trend of some pupils taking “casual” days off without any apparent reason and also taking holidays during the school term. I would appeal to parents not to allow this trend to develop.
At the end of the school year –
Any child with a full attendance record will receive a certificate.
