Got a letter today and as DS only has 92% attendance I have been invited to attend a parenting 'attendance and punctuality' class. Letter read along the lines of "as a school we are striving to keep attendance at 96% and your child falls below this"
All fine except DS is 3.6yo, in preschool and has only just gone full time (he got a FT place end of January but shouldn't be FT until September). The killer us being in the preschool doesn't guarantee him a place in the actual school. Sadly school is very oversubscribed and I am doubtful he'll get a place past few years even siblings have been on the waiting list
The letter was addressed to me (well "parent of baby hackerfucker22") so it wasn't a standard letter.
Am I right to be pissed off that we're being pulled up on attendance when he isn't even at the school and unlikely to get a place. Why should his good attendance benefit the school he won't even be able to attend?
He had a whole week off in late January due to a virus was far too ill to attend school, temperature on and off for 5 days, vomiting etc and another 2 days due to a cough / cold. The teacher recommended he didn't come in as he 'wasn't himself and seemed off colour'
