How/where does your school store paper sick notes for kids?

[pete]

So, we're discussing changing how student sick notes are handled here and it'd be interesting to see what other schools are doing.

 

If you wouldn't mind letting me know...

 

• How do sick notes come in at your school? (Phone/Paper/Email/TXT)
  
• Does phone/email/TXT require a physical follow-up letter? (If policy says "yes", but reality is "no", I'm interested in that).
  
• Who is the parent / student supposed to send/hand them to?
  
• Where are they stored? And for how long after the event?
  
• Are paper notes scanned / transcribed into SIMS as linked documents?
  
• What's the thinking behind your school's method (beyond interia/tradition)

Parents are supposed to ring up here and then its recorded on SIMS which means there is no paper to be stored.

Surely everything should be scanned and uploaded to SIMS?

 

A proper workflow, you can even get scan to SIMS on MFD's so you can straight to SIMS once you create a ticket.
