Late Arrivals, Absences & Leaving During the School Day
If your child arrives at school from 9:00am onwards, they must be signed in at the school office using the Vistab system.
If your child is not signed in, they will be marked absent and parents/caregivers will receive an absence notification. Signing in is an important step to ensure our records are accurate and your child is accounted for.
It is also very important that if your child is going to be away, you contact the school office to let us know.
You can report an absence in the following ways:
📞 Phone: 07 839 5579
📱 Mobile: 027 753 0880
📧 Email: office@whitiora.school.nz
💻 Online: https://www.whitiora.school.nz/report-an-absences
If your child needs to leave school during the day, a parent/caregiver must come to the office and sign them out.
You will be given a sign-out slip, which must be taken to your child’s teacher.
Students will not be released from class without this slip.
For any further information or assistance, please contact the school office.
