Just a reminder to families that student absence must be reported to the school office prior to 9am.

We monitor the daily attendance of students to:

• ensure their safety both in getting to school, and in accounting for them in an emergency
• identify students with achievement, engagement, or other issues
• meet our legal responsibilities

Parents and guardians also have legal obligations to ensure their children attend school. The school expects parents to:

• notify the school if their child is going to be absent by phone, text, or email by 9:00 am
• Txt Breens Cellphone - 027 232 5443/email office@breens.school.nz or phone Breens office 359-8108 option 1
• try to arrange appointments etc. outside school hours or in holidays
• work with the school to manage any attendance issues
