New Year 2009

The new year is shaping up well with no changes in the administration staff for the school.

Mrs Terry, Executive Officer is available from 9am daily to answer queries about automatic payments. If you currently have a school account and wish to access these funds to pay for school items (stationery or school uniform) you need to see Mrs Terry for a school order form.

Parents are reminded that they need to be vigilant about ringing the school for student absences. This will save the school ringing you needlessly. We are hoping to set in place a system for texting absences in but you are reminded that you can email the school fi@stratfordhigh.school.nz or mail@stratfordhigh.school.nz with this information by 8am in the morning, if you cannot phone.

During term 4, 2008 the school changed student management systems and there may be changes during this year with receipting of money through the student office. When this change happens we will notify the school community via the school newsletter.

Absence Process

With the winter term coming to a close, it has been noted that a large number of parents/caregivers are not ringing to report an absence.
Please phone the school at any time on 06 765 6039 and choose Option 1 on the phone message. State the name of the student (s) and form classes as well as a short reason.
Thank you for assisting the school in this.

We are looking at a method of receiving a text message for absences and parents will be advised when this system is working satisfactorily.
