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
@school mobile app
Phone: 09 477 0167 and follow the prompts to leave an answer phone message.
Email: Please let both the office know (via email link below) and the class teacher (see staff contacts): absences@northcross.school.nz
If sending an email please include Absence and child’s full name and room number in the subject line. Include a brief explanation of the reason for the absence.
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.
