How to record a Student Absence
- Option 1 – Qparents - Attendance Tab – Notify of an absence and complete requested details.
- Option 2 - Email absentee@miamiss.eq.edu.au with student’s name, class and reason for absence.
- Option 3 - Contact our office on 07 5595 4888 and press 1 to leave a voicemail informing students full name, class and the reason for absence.
If you receive a text message for an unexplained absence, please reply to the text ASAP with a reason for absence to avoid us contacting you and interrupting your busy day.
If you anticipate your child will be absent for more than ten days, you must seek the Principal’s approval. Please notify the school office directly by email, after which you will be required to complete an application for exemption.
If your child is absent for more than three consecutive days due to illness, a medical certificate must be provided.
Every Day Counts
Every student in our school is important to us and we are committed to providing personalised education suited to their needs. The very first step in that is maximising learning time and we believe that if students attend every day and every learning minute of the day we are improving their opportunities for academic success.
All students are expected to be at school by 8.50am. If they arrive earlier than 8.50am they must go to the designated year level area until they are collected by their class teacher. It is an expectation that all students are in class and are starting instruction by 8.55am.
Students arriving after 9am will need to go through the office. If students are late they must sign in through the office by a parent and collect a late slip.
