Updating Details
Once school starts in September, we will send you a form so that you may provide/update student details, including addresses, telephone numbers and emergency contact details. We will then double check these details with those in our system to ensure that all information is accurate and up to date.
Remember that it is your responsibility to inform us of any changes in contact details that may occur during the scholastic year. You are also requested to provide at least two contact numbers in case of any emergency.
School Attendance
School attendance is mandatory. Please use this form to justify 1 or 2-day absences. Students are to hand in this form either before or immediately upon coming back to school after an absence. We monitor carefully the use of this form – and we reserve the right to refuse it in case we suspect misuse. Please note that in the first pages of the school diary, the school attendance policy is thoroughly explained – please make sure to adhere to it.
Please note that:
1.it is expected that if you use the mentioned above form for sickness (in case nothing serious) it is prudent to provide a medical certificate instead using the said form
2.if a student is sick for more than 2 consecutive days, a medical certificate needs to be presented. Unauthorised absences are automatically flagged and reported if they exceed 2 days in a month or 9 days in any given period.
Getting in Touch
The best way to get in touch with us is via email – smc.zabbar.prb@ilearn.edu.mt or via phone. Normally, we reply within a day or two, if this is not the case, do send a gentle reminder.
