As families, you will all be aware that regular attendance at school is essential if children are to reach their full potential socially, emotionally and academically.\u00a0 There is clear evidence that children who do not attend school regularly are less likely to achieve their full potential.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Absences are regularly monitored at Benarty in line with Fife and National Guidelines.\u00a0 Lateness is also recorded on the register and this too is monitored.<\/p>\n

Of course children do get ill and need time off school.\u00a0 However, if your child is going to be absent or late then please telephone the school office or update on Portal as early as possible.\u00a0 Failure to make this contact will result in your child\u2019s absence being recorded as \u201cunauthorised\u201d.<\/p>\n

On return to school please, where possible, write a note to the class teacher explaining why your child was absent if you have not previously made contact..<\/p>\n

If staff have cause to be concerned about your child\u2019s attendance and\/or punctuality you will be contacted by telephone call and\/or letter.\u00a0 If thereafter, there is no improvement you will be invited to attend a meeting in school to discuss how we can work together to bring about improvement.<\/p>\n

As always, we appreciate your support in this matter and I genuinely believe that by working in partnership we can make a difference.<\/p>\n
