Absence policy and School leave

Class absence

If your child is ill, you should report this via the SOMtoday app or by telephone to the school before 08.30 in the morning. This also applies to other unforeseen school absences.

If your child falls ill during class, or is unable to continue attending class for other reasons, they will report to the student affairs coordinator to ask if they may go home. The coordinator may contact you about this.

Leave

For foreseeable school absences, you should request leave in good time from the team coach or pupil affairs coordinator. For holiday leave or leave for serious circumstances longer than one day, you should use special application forms, which can be found on the parents’ portal.

Missed tests and exams

If school absenteeism leads to a delay in lessons, this delay must be made up as soon as possible. Missed tests will be made up in consultation with the relevant subject teacher. If your child has missed a test without prior notification, they will not be allowed to catch up. It will also be graded with a grade of 1.
