Absences
Regular attendance will ensure that your child gains maximum benefit from the Family Centre. If your child is going to be absent from the Family Centre, we ask you to contact us before 9.00 a.m. on the day of her/his absence either by telephone 0141 570 7530 or by e-mail schoolmail@hazeldene.e-renfrew.sch.uk
If we do not hear from you, we will telephone you to find out how your child is doing.
Please remember that children who are unwell should be kept at home to prevent the risk of infection spreading to others and also for the benefit of the child who is ill.
Please note any child who has had sickness or diarrhoea should not return until they have been free of symptoms for 48hrs.
Information regarding exclusion periods for infectious diseases can be obtained from the office or NHS website. If you are unsure the staff will be happy to advise you.
Collection of children
In the interest of your child’s safety, please inform your child’s key worker if they are to be collected by someone not known to the Senior Leadership Team or staff members. This helps to avoid difficult situations where a child cannot be released to an unfamiliar adult. You will be asked to complete a list of named individuals authorised to collect your child, and if possible, we kindly ask that you introduce them to us in advance. In addition, we ask all families to provide a secure password that will be requested if staff are unfamiliar with the person collecting your child. For everyone’s safety, it is also essential that parents and carers sign their child in and out of the building each day.
