Dear Inman Elementary Families,
At Inman Elementary, student safety is our top priority. As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our attendance procedures, we have implemented a new system for notifying families about student absences.
As of March 31, 2025, families now receive an email by 9:45 AM if their child is marked absent without an excuse or arrives late without signing in at the office. Morning phone calls from the office have been replaced by this email notification system.
This updated process helps us ensure all students are accounted for while maintaining safe and efficient communication with families.
To make absence reporting easier, families can now notify the school by email if their child will be absent or late. You can either:
- Email us directly at inman.info@burnabyschools.ca with the required details.
- Reply to the absence notification email with the reason for your child’s absence.
When reporting an absence, please include the following information:
- Student’s Full Name
- Student Number
- Grade
- Division / Teacher’s Name
- Reason for Absence (if known)
If you have any questions or concerns about this new process, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office. Thank you for your support in keeping our students safe!
