Should you also have outstanding attendance dues for 2022 or earlier, please ensure they are paid in full by that date also.

Reminders – daily attendance, arriving on time and end of day pick up=
15 Nov, 2023 – 01:52am
Assalaamu alaikum
Important reminders – daily attendance, arriving on time and end of day pick up
Please remember the following:
- Daily attendance – your child should be attending school each day. Should your child NOT `be present at school on any particular day then you need to have a valid reason. A valid reason would be something like a medical reason or a serious family issue.
- Absentees – you MUST notify the school if you child is going to be away. You can do this through our Skool Loop App – use the ‘Absentee’ icon to do this or alternatively email the school at admin@iqra.school.nz
- Signing in or out of school – It is an expectation that students SIGN IN if they are late to school. Should you accompany your child to school then you can sign in for them before they go to their class. Parent/caregivers should NOT go to classes until they have signed in or out. If you are taking your child from class before 3:30pm, the board and school expect parents/caregivers to SIGN THEIR CHILD OUT. Again you should have a valid reason if you are excusing your child from school before 3:30pm.
- Drop off in the mornings – students should arrive at school between 8:00am – 8:25am each day. We have a few of our families who children are constantly arriving late most day. Please ensure they are AT SCHOOL on time. School begins 8:30am sharp.
- End of school day pick up – please remember you should pick up your child from school NO LATER than 3:45pm. The board have voiced their concern and indicated that having children still at school by 4:00pm is not acceptable.

Last day for enrolling sibling for 2024=
08 Nov, 2023 – 11:21pm
Assalaamu alaikum
Tuesday 14 November is the last day to enroll siblings for 2024.
We are almost at roll capacity for the school and have only a few spaces left for 2024.
Should we not have a space because class numbers are high then we will be in an unfortunate position to decline enrolment at that particular class level.
It is vital if you have siblings that are not enrolled, please do so by next Tuesday. Even if you have a child that won’t start school in 2024 but later on, please enroll all your children by next Tuesday.
The link to the enrolment form can be found here – enrolment link
Please note that we will be confirming enrolment into our year 1 class for 2024 very shortly.
