Reporting Absences

It is imperative that families contact the school before 9am if their child is not going to be at school that day. This is to ensure that all children are safe and accounted for. 

Your can do this by any of the following methods:

Leave a message on our 24 hour absence line - (03) 5950952

Email: office@westrolleston.school.nz 

HERO App to report any kind of absence (see below). Please provide a reason for your child's absence, this is a MOE requirement. If your child is going to be absent for a prolonged period of the time, please email the office and let us know.

Late to School - If your child is late to school or away for any reason during the day please let the office know, or send them to the office before they go to the learning studio to obtain a Late Pass, this tells the teacher that they have reported to the office and obtained their mark for the day. This is important for Health and Safety Reasons.

If your child has vomiting or diarrhoea, it is imperative that you keep them away from school until 48 hours after the last symptoms have disappeared (this is a MOE requirement), even if they appear quite well.
