Any absence for HS students should be excused by parents via a phone call to the HS Attendance secretary, Khun Gade 02 963 5883 (ext. 3305). It is appreciated if this phone call can be received before 8.30am so that we can alert teachers early. If you are unable to call, please email Khun Gade on (sasivimb@isb.ac.th)
It is important that we receive this parental contact, because without it, your child is marked as absent (X). Unexcused absences may result in additional consequences.
You can see whether your child has been marked absent (X) on any day using PowerSchool. If we receive confirmation from parents that the absence is excused, then we adjust the code to reflect that (AbE). Please help us to ensure we best understand reasons for your child missing school.
Please also note if a student misses a class during the day, they may not participate in co-curricular activities on that day without prior approval from the Dean of Students.
For extended absences, parents should email counsellors and also copy in Andy Vaughan (andyv@isb.ac.th) and Khun Gade(sasivimb@isb.ac.th) for approval.
Here are a few more helpful reminders regarding attendance:
- Students who have their first block/s free can arrive at school after first block so long as they are in time for their first scheduled class/meeting of the day.
- Students who have a free during the day are not allowed to leave campus except in the case of a pre-arranged appointment in this time. In such cases a signed note or email must be received. Please note we are unable to allow verbal confirmation on a phone in such cases.
- Students who have the last block of the day free are allowed to leave early at 1pm so long as a signed note or email has been received from parents. Students who have a double free block which is back to back cannot leave until 1pm.
