Year 1 class and teacher has had 3 x longish absences of 1.5-3 weeks and around 7 or 8 absences of 1-2 days since September.
There are supply teachers, sometimes singular days, sometimes for a week or so. Sometimes other senior teachers take the class plus static TAs and student teachers in the mix.
While it's unavoidable that people get sick, it's feeling a bit unmanageable if it continues like this to the end of the year. Child is tearful going in with the extended absences and things have been missed like rewards overlooked or forgotten about. School is good and very apologetic but I guess there's not much they can do really.
If you have experience of this, is there a long term impact on the year or is it ok if a bit frustrating as kids are resilient and used to multiple teachers anyway??
Thanks.
