Attendance

Attendance

• If your daughter has missed time, please use Aladdin Connect to explain the absence.

Kindly note that there is no need to phone the school.

• As in all other schools, we must tell Tusla Education Support Service (TESS)if your child has missed 20 days or more in the school year.  The school may also make a referral to TESS where we are concerned about the amount of days your child is missing at school.
• Once a pupil misses 20 days, parents will receive an automatic text alerting them to this. If you receive one of these texts, there is no need for concern if your daughter has genuinely been sick.
• As noted by the Department’s inspectors, we actively encourage good attendance and closely monitor the attendance of pupils.

Parents are legally obliged to ensure their child’s attendance at school. Persistent non-attendance impacts negatively on a pupil’s learning and progress and on her ability to make friends.
