In primary and special schools - at the beginning of the school day and prior to the beginning of the afternoon session
Develop list of students
When all class rolls have been marked after the beginning of the school day, ensure all known student absence information has been entered and cross checked, and that only students with an unexplained absence are listed for parent/carer notification
Notify parent/carer
As soon as practicable on the day of the student’s absence (allowing time for parents/carers to respond prior to the end of the school day)
Parent/carer response
Parents/carers may respond by phone, SMS, email or in person by visiting the school
Follow up
Record
Maintain OneSchool
In secondary schools - at the beginning of the school day and for each lesson
Only required if there is no response to the parent/carer notification that was sent on the day of the absence
Keep a record of all notifications, follow up and parent/carer responses so they can be retrieved when necessary (in OneSchool)
If using electronic roll marking in OneSchool, this will occur automatically (will need to update OneSchool with the absence reason when this becomes known)
If using an external electronic roll-marking system, upload the absence data to OneSchool every day (usually in the afternoon)
If using hard copy rolls, upload the absence data to OneSchool at least every three days
Visual and verbal confirmation method should be used
Ensure notifications have been sent successfully (e.g. check transmission reports if using an external electronic attendance management or text messaging system)
Follow up should start as soon as practicable
after the day of the absence.
Follow up should continue until: (1) a
response from the parent/carer with an explanation for the absence;
or
(2) the school has followed up on multiple occasions with no explanation provided by the parent/carer in which case the absence will remain recorded as unexplained
