NCDD INFORMATION FOR PARENTS
SECONDHAND UNIFORM
Many of our new and existing families have benefitted from our secondhand uniform cupboard this year. We have been overwhelmed by the number of families who have taken up the offer to utilise this service.
Unfortunately, this is a service that relies heavily on the generosity of our families and their willingness to donate what they have available, or what their children have grown out of.
We are asking all of our families to take a look in their childrens cupboard and if you have any good quality uniform that is not being used by your family, and could be donated to assist another family we encourage you to bring it into the administration office.
We appreciate all items that can be donated.
DROPPING STUDENTS AT SCHOOL BEFORE 8.30AM
Parents are reminded that students must not be dropped off at school, and left unsupervised prior to the school gate opening at 8.30am. If you need to drop your children off prior to 8.30am, we recommend that you contact Camp Australia and access before school care.
STUDENT ABSENCES
All student absences should be communicated to the office by 10am daily. In addition to Class Dojo, student absences can be communicated via the Parent Access Module (PAM) which come directly to the Administration Office. In addition to daily absences, PAM can be used to record family holidays, and occurances which are likely to be multiple day absences.
SIMON EVERYWHERE APP
Our Parent Access Module (PAM) is now even easier to access, via the Simon Everywhere App.
