Absences
It is a legal requirement that children attend school regularly and on time. We expect all children to be onsite and ready for the day at 8.50 am.
If your child is absent please notify the school before 8.50am through one of the options below:
email: absences@bbps.school.nz
Phone 09 534 6543
If a child is sick or has any contagious illness they mustn't attend school. Please follow medical advice of your medical professional to ensure children are past any incubation period. Please see here for further information.
If a child has an appointment during school hours please contact the office prior to collecting them so we can arrange to have them ready for you.
Please arrange collections before or after morning tea and lunch breaks. It can be very difficult to find children in the playground.
You will need to sign them out from the office and sign them back in on return. You can notify the teacher with an email or note.
If your child will be absent for 3 days or more for any reason, please notify the office in writing at absences@bbps.schoo.nz
Please include the dates and the reason for their absence.
