Attendance and late to school - be aware

During the forthcoming interviews students have to account for their own attendance by explaining how many days they missed in TY and how many days you were late - your job to find this out - u were supposed to keep a record over the year.
Please ensure any Friday absences are logged/explained on your yellow work attendance sheets (x2) and include this in your attendance record.
Thank you.
