Lateness

Priscilla Thatcher —

Many children are arriving at school between 9.00am and 9.30am.

The school bells rings at 8.55am, at which time the roll is taken.  We would really appreciate having children arrive between 8.30am and 8.45am. 

Do please make a concerted effort to get your child/ren to school well before the bell rings.   Being late to school interrupts your child’s learning and is also disruptive for the learning of others.  

Every day we also have families who do not inform the office about absentees. We need to be notified each day your child is not at school. Help us by:

  • phoning the office on 856 7604
  • texting 027 7557917
  • emailing office@silverdale.school.nz
  • or using our school app to advise us of your child’s absence
