During the 2011 year, the following days will be observed as Public holidays and children will not attend school:

Please endeavour to have your child at school before the 8.55am bell to prepare for his/her day’s learning.

Encourage your child to learn self organisational skills for his/her personal property as a preparation for each day.

If for some reason your child cannot attend school on a given day, please notify the school by note, telephone message or email before 8:50am on that day. Ph: 817 5645 extn 1, email: attendance@kaurilands.school.nz or text a message to the school mobile phone on 027-4998647.

At 8:55am each morning the online Register of Attendance is updated to ensure all children are accounted for. The names of absent children are then sent to the office to be checked, and if absences are unexplained, parents will be contacted. The online Register of Attendance is called again after lunch at 1:30pm.

If your child is to be absent for an extended period of time, please contact the Principal in writing.

Children are not permitted to leave the school grounds unless accompanied by a parent/caregiver. The relevant teacher and office staff must be informed and the child signed out before leaving the school grounds.
