# Reporting Absence

### Pupil Absence

If a child is ill, we ask that parents/carers telephone the school office on the morning of the first day of absence. A message can be left on our system and the relevant class teacher will be informed.

Absence can be reported to school in 3 ways:

1\. Telephone [**(01202) 622378**](tel:(01202)%20622378) and select Option 1 to record a message about your child's absence.

2\. Email to school office: **<office@lmpsdorset.co.uk>**

3\. Message the school on the 'My Child At School' app.
