Reporting an Absence

Please contact the school before 9.30am if you child is going to be away. 

It is a Ministry requirement for a caregiver to notify the school of all student absences, including if a student needs to leave school for an appointment.

Methods of notification

School app: It is our preference that caregivers use the @school mobile app.

Phone: 09 477 0167 and follow the prompts to leave an answer phone message.

Email: Please email both the office: office@northcross.school.nz and class teacher.

Staff contact details

Unreported absences

Unreported absences will prompt a text message or phone call requesting confirmation and details of the students absence.

Leaving early or attending appointments 

Should a student need to leave campus during school hours, they must sign out and be met by their parents at the School Office.

Whenever possible, please advise the school in advance of any appointments where your child will need to leave during the school day.

Arriving late

Students should be at school and ready to learn by 8:30 each day. If they arrive after 8:45am, they must sign in late on the office iPad at the front desk.
