Absence Notification
LETTING US KNOW ABOUT ABSENCES AND TEXT MESSAGING SERVICE
Plockton High School use a text messaging system to contact parents/guardians of pupils who are absent from school without a prior explanation (e.g. notice of an appointment etc.) or without an explanation supplied on the day – i.e. telephone call to the school to alert us to the fact that your child is to be absent due to, for example, illness. In the interests of pupil safety and welfare, if your child is not going to be in school we ask you to contact the school before 9.15 a.m. to explain, this can by telephone or by e-mailing plockton.high@highland.gov.uk
​
If your child is absent without this explanation, or prior information, you will receive the following Text message to the telephone number(s) which you have provided. ‘Your Son/Daughter "FirstName" has not arrived in school today "Date".
Please contact the school office and update us on absences on 01599530800. We ask that you continue to provide a written note on return so that Group Tutors keep their records up to date.
​
If your child requires to sign out of school during the school day for any reason (appointment etc.), we must be informed of this prior to them signing out, to ensure safety and welfare, so please contact the school office via telephone or email.
Could we also remind you to inform us of any change to a telephone number (Home, Work or Mobile)
