Why do I need to mark my Student Absent on RollCall

Updating any planned absences or changes to your child’s travel schedule via the RollCall for Parents App help us keep your child safe and ensure smooth daily bus operations. Here's why:

• Student Safety: When a student is unexpectedly absent and we haven’t been informed, it can raise concerns about their wellbeing. Prompt communication helps us confirm that your child is safe and accounted for.
• Time Management: Bus drivers and staff follow tight schedules. Knowing in advance if a student won’t be attending helps avoid unnecessary delays and allows us to focus on supporting those who are present.
• Emergency Preparedness: In case of emergencies or evacuations, accurate attendance records are crucial. Notifying us of absences ensures we have the correct information at all times.

Please update your child’s travel bookings via the RollCall for Parents App as early as possible if your child will be absent. Your cooperation helps us provide a safer and more efficient environment for all students.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please email buses@noosacc.qld.edu.au
