There are a growing number of students arriving late to school.

Lateness

It is really important that students arrive to school on time - in fact a little early is good. When students are early they can be better prepared for learning. We are finding that those students who are late often miss the most important messages of the day and take a longer time to settle into learning. 

Absences

Please let us know when your child is going to be absent. This can be completed easily through the Hero app. We no longer use Skool Loop for absences.

How to report an absence in Hero

If your child is going to be away for the day due to sickness, an appointment or any other reason, please notify the school as soon as possible by using the Hero app.

There is a ‘Report an Absence’ icon right on the homepage of the app
1. Click on the ‘Report an Absence’ icon
2. Select the reason for absence (add in any message if you need to)
3. Click ‘Send Message’ and you’re done!

Thank you.
