LEARNERS LEAVING EARLY
If a learner feels too sick to continue the school day or have to leave for an appointment, he/she must adhere to the following “sign-out procedure”:
The learner must bring a letter from the parent (or send an email) to school on the day of leaving early. They must report to the Front Office to obtain permission to sign out.
Please note that the front office will contact parents/guardians to fetch learners and that this arrangement should not be made by the learners. It is also important that parents allow for enough time for the process to be followed. Learners must therefore sign out at least 20 minutes before their collection time, and be ready for collection at the Front Office, at the time mentioned in the letter.
After the necessary permission has been granted, learners will be signed out at reception by their guardian/parent who has arrived to fetch them.
Please note that learners are not allowed to leave the school’s premises or class without following procedure or before the necessary documentation has been completed.
IN TOUCH PORTAL
The InTouch Portal allows access to certain useful information regarding your child here at Fairmont.
You can see:
Your child’s personalised calendar, including when they have each subject each day, as well as sport practises and matches, rehearsals and so forth.
A record of all correspondence from the school. These will be limited to those emails and text messages sent from our school administration system, and will not include those sent directly by a teacher from their work email accounts.
Homework that individual teachers have loaded on the portal for their subject and that is relevant to your child. However, most teachers use Google Classroom for this.
Your child’s archived school reports for each term. You will be able to download and print these, but they will not have any signatures or school stamps on them.
REGISTRATION:
You will be required to register in order to use this portal. Please note that the portal will not recognise any other email address other than the one we have recorded for you in our admin system.
The portal can be accessed on the following website (accessible on a computer or through any mobile device’s web browser):
When you visit the portal for the first time you will need to register using the email address which you supplied us with. During the registration process you will be sent a confirmation email which will include a link you can use to complete your registration. When you click on the link in the email you will be taken to the InTouch portal login page where you will need to enter your email address and a new password for accessing the website. If you require any help during the registration process, please try the following link: https://help.intouch.zone. If you are still experiencing problems please contact Mr Freeman at freeman@fairmont.co.za for further assistance.
