Attendance
Since 2000 the Education Welfare Act states that there is a statutory obligation on parents to ensure that their children attend school regularly once registered, and if absent from school the parents are obliged to notify the Principal. Children who miss more than 20 days of school in any school year are registered with the National Education Welfare Board and their attendance is monitored.
Good attendance at school should be encouraged from the first day and the habits laid down in these early years will stand to children at second level and beyond.
The roll book is called daily in each class and records attendances and absences. Letters and Medical Certificates will be held in the child's school report folder.
Please note:
If your child misses 20 days they are automatically reported to Tusla, the agency with responsibility for school attendance.
