What to do if....

…my son/daughter is absent from school for a day/number of days? 

Parent/Guardian writes a note in ‘Absent Note’ section in the cinn lae (school journal). Note is shown to caoimhnoir (class tutor) in tionol (assembly) on return to school. A medical cert can be shown to the caoimhnoir, if appropriate and relevant. 

  

…my son/daughter has to leave school early for an appointment? 

Parent/Guardian writes a note in the cinn lae (school journal) in advance of the appointment. Note is shown to caoimhnoir (class tutor) on the morning of the appointment and will sign the note giving permission. Student should show the signed note to the teacher of the class they are in and go to reception at the agreed time. Students will not be called out on intercom. Parent/Guardian must sign-out student at reception. 

No student can leave the school building or campus without being signed out by a parent/guardian or designated adult.  

  

…I am arriving to school late after an appointment? 

Parent/Guardian writes a note in the cinn lae (school journal) explaining late arrival to school due to appointment. 

Student’s cinn lae will then be stamped by the office. Student should show the note to the teacher of the class upon arrival and to their caoimhnoir (class tutor) in the next class with them. 

  

…my son/daughter is feeling sick at school? 

Let your teacher know that you are feeling unwell. The student will be sent to their caoimhnóir or realtóir to assess how they are feeling. If they are too sick to stay on, they will be sent to the office to call home. They will then wait at the office to be signed out by their parent/guardian.
