Attendance During Omicron Outbreak
Kia ora Point View Families
Attendance rates at school last week stayed between 69% and 71%. Today, we have nearly 80% of students at school. Thank you for working with us to keep your children at school and learning wherever possible.
For some families we are aware that you have decided to keep your children away from school. Most of you have informed us of this and explained your reasons. We have confirmed with the Ministry that for families like yourselves who are engaging with the school, and who are keeping children at home because you have fears about COVID-19, this will not be followed up as truancy so you do not need to be concerned about being removed from the Point View roll after 20 days of absence at this time. We will, however, continue to record this absence as ‘notified but unjustified’.
As community cases of COVID decline, we will be expecting all children to return to school, so this waiver of the attendance rules is only temporary. We will keep you informed of the timing of these changes.
