We are experiencing a high number of absences at the moment. If your child is absent, you are required to notify the school office by 9.00am on each day of their absence. If we have not received a message, a text from our student management system will be sent requesting a reason.

There are many ways to advise school of an absence:

1. Phone: 094837767

2. Notify using the School APP

3. Text: 02102876502

4. Email: absent@birkdaleprimary.school.nz

Unfortunately if we do not receive a message stating the reason for your child’s absence, we will need to mark them as truant.

If you have any questions around this, please contact the office.
