Absences
Absentee form
If your child is absent, please contact the school, prior to 9am, in one of the following ways:
- Telephoning: our absentee line 09 575 7374 extension 5
- Emailing: absences@glendowie.school.nz
- Completing the form on this page
- download the SchoolApp
Please provide the child’s name and room number, reason for absence and expected return.
The attendance register is called at 9am. For safety reasons, parents will be contacted if their child is not present and notification has not been received.
If your child is to be absent on leave for a period of time, ie a family trip, please contact the Principal. Request for regular release from attendance, eg for tuition outside the school, must be directed to the Principal for approval, as per Section 25b of the Education Act.
