AIBU- Letter from attendance office

[penny4321boom]

Received my son's school report today with a letter attached from attendance office reminding me of the local authority rules. My son has over 97% attendance. He has had one day off due to my illness and being unable to travel back from a weekend away and one day off due to becoming a big brother and a few days when had tonsillitis and one when he was sent home with tempreture. I accept that the first 2 days are unauthorised but happened at least 2 months ago so AIBU to be annoyed the letter came with his school report 2 months later and because he is never late and has pretty good attendance.
hope this makes sense, I am hormonal and sleep deprived (8 week old baby with acid reflux)

Are you sure it's not just a standard letter? ie one that gets sent out to everyone?

It was addressed to me re- my child. sorry forgot that bit

File in bin and forget about it.

My school sends out standard letters as a reminder about the attendance policy but they're addressed individually.

File it appropriately.

Just bin!

Bin it and forget it, it's standard. My dd had recurrent tonsillitis so we had many. After a particularly bad bout I snapped and sent a narky email. They phoned and apologised.

Does the letter mention any absence marked as "N" on the register?

If so, this will be an occasion when your child didn't attend school and no reason was given.

All the school will want will be to change the "N" to a reason... and you've listed all of those above. So if you have an "N" please contact them and give them the reason for the absence.

If there was no "N" and your child has above 97% attendance (although, I can't see how that has happened with all the absences you list), then I'd also bin it.

Ha my ds school starts it's year count in January so every child in p3 who had a single day off before Xmas got one of those it's a paper excersize just bin it
