Maida Vale Primary uses an SMS system to advise parents of unexplained absences. The aim of using this system is to follow up unexplained absences on the day of absence and reduce the number of absentee letters sent out to parents.
If your child is absent and you have not contacted the school:
Parents will receive a text message from MVPS at 10am if their child is absent without an explanation. Within this text is a unique link to click on to complete the reason why their child is absent. This system is part of Compass, the new portal the Education Department has implemented for student attendance.
If you know your child will be absent on a future date:
To inform the school of any known future absences (appointments, holidays, etc) please text the current attendance number 0447 967 006 or email maidavale.ps@education.wa.edu.au.
The future absences process will be changing soon, and more information will be sent to parents in due course.
