In those situations we ask for one of the following:  Parent / carer walks the child into the front office to sign them in.  A note in the diary explaining the late arrival.  A phone call explaining the late arrival and the time the child left home. The safety of your children is paramount. When the school is notified through one of the above methods we ensure your child arrives at school directly and safely.
