Dear Parent/Carer,
As part of Maesteg School’s ongoing commitment to improving communication with you in regards to attendance, from Monday 19th June you will be contacted via text message at 9.30am on the first day of your child’s absence, if we have not already been notified by parents / carers.
This will allow the school’s safeguarding protocols to be significantly improved as you will be contacted much more quickly than under our current system of making a phone call to you. Naturally, this will only work if the school holds your correct mobile telephone number so please can you update the school with any new telephone numbers before Friday 16th June 2023 by calling Alison Davies on 01656 815950 and choosing option 3.
Please note that parents / carers are still expected to let us know about unavoidable sickness or absence by calling our school Attendance office before 9am.
Kind regards
Maesteg School
