Dear Parents and Carers
We are conscious of information in the community that families are required to contact the school to inform us of their young person's attendance status.
At Nimbin Central School we are using the latest DoE guidelines to record student attendance:
• If we have evidence that a student is engaging in work provided then the student will be marked as attending school: Flexible (F) - Students at home engaged in learning.
• If there is no evidence of engagement in work and/or staff have not been able to make contact with parents/carers then the student will be marked absent from school: Absent (A) - There is no evidence of students completing work.
• If a parent/carer contacts the school to inform that their child is sick as per usual arrangements the student will be marked as sick: Sick (S) - Parents advise the school that their child is sick.
Kind regards
