Reporting Student Absences'
Should your child be absent from school, we ask that you notify the school in one of four ways;
- QParents app - select the option to notify of absence (this is our preferred method)
- Phone - absence line (07) 5656 1360 and follow the prompts to leave a message
- Seesaw - sending a message to your classroom teacher
- Email - administration@ashmoress.eq.edu.au
If we have not been notified of your child's absence, you will receive a text message stating that your child is absent from school and requesting a reason for the unexplained absence. Please note all absences are recorded on your child's school record and report card.
Late Arrivals
Please try your best to avoid late arrivals as it is very disruptive to the start of daily lessons. Students arriving to school after 9am (second bell) are to report directly to Student Services to request a late slip. This must be presented to the teacher upon arrival to the classroom stating the reason as to why they are late. If students are arriving late with their parent/carer, please report to Reception.
Early Departures
If you need to collect your child early (e.g. for an appointment), please notify your classroom teacher in advance via Seesaw or email or alternatively, call the office on (07) 5656 1333. Children are not permitted to leave the school grounds on their own during school hours. Parents/Carers must report to Reception to wait, and your child will be sent down to meet you. This causes minimum disruption to the class and ensures the safety of all our children. Please view the
