REPORT AN ABSENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just a reminder that parents and carers can now use the Safer Schools Scotland App to report that their child or young person will be absent from school.

Once logged in, you can press \u2018Report Absence\u2019 and provide details which will go straight to our School Office team to record the absence, meaning you do not have to phone. Parents and carers will receive an email receipt of the information provided.<\/p>\n
