This page is where you will find all the information about how to inform us about your child’s absence from school.<\/p>\n

Receiving notice that your child is going to be absent from school is very important. If we are not provided a reason for your child’s absence these sit on their record as unauthorised and unexplained. This affects your child’s attendance rate.<\/p>\n

It is therefore important that if you child is going to be absent from school, that you inform us every day<\/strong>\u00a0of their absence. If you know their absence will be long term, you can certify them for longer by telling us the intended date they will return to school.<\/p>\n

It is Fife Council’s attendance policy that if we do not have notification of a child’s absent, a text alert must be sent. We will do this by 9:30am everyday.<\/p>\n
