Absences/Late Arrivals and Visitors

It is important that you notify the school office as early as possible if your child is away from school for any reason.

Please record your child's absence on our Howick Intermediate school website or email  absences@howickint.school.nz

The school must also be notified of any changes of address or contact details i.e. mobile phone numbers/email.

If the school has not received notification of your child's absence an automated text will be sent to the primary caregiver's mobile phone number. If you receive this text be sure to contact the school as soon as possible. Thank you for your assistance.

It is also imperative that your child signs in and out at the school office if they arrive late and signed out by a caregiver if they leave the school grounds for any reason.

All visitors to the school must report to reception.

Any requests for a child to be away from school for extended periods need to be submitted to and approved by the Principal.


Health Concerns

It is important to inform the school office about any significant health concerns your child may have.

You can do this by sending an email to Mrs Robyn Ericksen at robyne@howickint.school.nz or alternatively in person at the office. By sharing this information, you are helping our school staff to better support your child's health needs to the best of our ability while they are at school.
