Regular attendance

Regular attendance is extremely important to ensure the proper improvement in the child’s development. That is why we have stablished a daily follow up as follows:

Steps

  • Teacher marks the attendance register during circle time first thing in the morning.
  • Teachers will notify the administration of unexplained absences by 9:00 AM.
  • Administration will communicate with the family to confirm that the child has not been sent to the kindergarten and find out the reason of the absence.
  • Children on sick leave are required to provide with a certificate from the health centre. Failing to do so will cause the leave to be counted as absence.
  • Parents should contact the School admin if their child is absent through illness or any other unavoidable reason.
  • Families are reminded regularly of the importance of arriving on time to the kindergarten and of not missing school days.
  • Students’ reports will contain attendance data.
  • Attendance registers are checked regularly by the principal and teachers are consulted for any misinformation.
  • At dismissal time, the doorman contact the administration through the intercom to call out the names of the children. Administration will then call the respective classrooms and supervise the students in their way out. The doorman makes sure that the students are picked up from parents or he drops them directly in their cars.
  • There is a daily assigned teacher who stay after hours until the last student is picked up. The school mobile is kept with the duty teacher in case she may need to communicate with the parents.
  • When a student arrives late, the secretary accompanies him/her to the classroom to make sure they arrive safe.
  • When a student is picked up early, the secretary inquires the reason for the early dismissal and makes sure who the picking up person is.
