Late for school or early departure
- If a child arrives late to school, they are required to sign at the guard booth and swipe as soon as they arrive on campus. An explanation will be recorded at that time.
- If a student is late to school as a result of a school bus delay, this is not recorded as a late arrival.
- Advisors will monitor late arrivals to ensure that the reasons are valid, are supported by parent notes and that the student is adhering to college expectations with respect to prompt arrival to school.
- If a child must leave the school before the end of the day, their parent/guardian must inform RCHK via ESF App.
Absenteeism
Please contact your child’s class teacher or Head of Year if your child is absent for reasons other than those outlined above.
