ABSENT FROM SCHOOL?: If your child is absent, you are required to notify the school office. If we have not received a message, a text from our student management system will be sent requesting a reason.
There are many ways to advise school of an absence:
1. Phone: 094837767
2. Notify using the School APP
3. Text: 02102876502
4. Email: absent@birkdaleprimary.school.nz
Unfortunately if we do not receive a message stating the reason for your child’s absence, we will need to mark them as truant.
Thank you in advance.
