Daily absences should be reported to the office before the start of the school day either via our website: www.waipukurau.school.nz or a phone call on 068589348.

We are using a School Management System, not a standard cell phone.

Parents/caregivers can only reply to texts once they are sent out from the school - they cannot initiate a text to notify of absences.

Absentees will be recorded in the Absentee book in the office.

If a child is absent and the school has not been informed, office staff will text to check with the family, so that both the school and the family know where the child is.
