The Department of Education is delivering a new online student information system to all WA public schools called Program Kaartdijin. The Kaartdijin Solution for schools uses Compass to manage student attendance and wellbeing and communicate important school information.
The Kaartdijin Solution for parents/guardians allows schools to invite parents/guardians to connect with them online through their Compass parent portal.
Noranda Primary is transitioning to this new system from 27th May. Before this date you will receive further information and an email with details on how to access the Compass portal.
The new system will notify parents, guardians, and caregivers of unexplained absences or late arrivals.
It will send parents an SMS on their mobile phone when their child is marked absent without an explanation.
This is a sample message below. Parents will get this SMS with the link if their child is marked absent without an explanation. Parents should use this link to add attendance notes about their child’s absence. Please note that the link will be valid for only 48 hours. Do not reply to this message via SMS as the school will not receive it. The school will receive your response via the link provided. Ensure the phone is connected to an Internet data plan or has WIFI access to use the hyperlink.
If the child is absent again without a prior explanation, parents will get a new one-time link.
If parents do not use the link provided, they can notify the school of their child’s absence via telephone or email.
If you have any other questions regarding the Attendance SMS Communications, please call the school on 9218 1550.
