Sick or absent

When you are late for school

Sometimes you cannot come to school on time.
This can happen, for example, because:

• the bus is late,

• your bike is broken, or

• you did not wake up on time.

If you are going to be late, your parents or caretaker must call the school. You are not allowed to call yourself.
They can call: 088-2241188 or 06-57013456. This way, the school knows why you are late.

Absent without reason

Sometimes the school does not know where you are. You are expected to be at school, but you are not there. If this happens, the school will contact your parents or caretaker. We ask them where you are. If they also do not know where you are, you are absent without a reason. This is also called skipping school. If you skip school, the school writes this down in your student file. When you come back to school, your mentor or coordinator will ask you why you were absent. If you are absent several times without a good reason, the school will take action.This means: you were not sick, and you did not have an appointment that could be after school.

The school will then contact the municipality where you live. You and your parents or caretaker will be invited for a talk. Together, we look for a solution. If you cannot explain your absences, there can be consequences. You may have to pay a fine or go to court.

When you are sick

Sometimes you are sick. This is of course not your fault. If you are sick and cannot come to school, your parents or caretakers must call the school. They need to call before 8:45 AM. They can call:
088-2241188 or 06-57013456. You cannot call yourself.
