The School Day

Dalkeith High School attaches great importance to good attendance and timekeeping. Absence from school, whatever the cause, disrupts learning. We value the partnership and support we have with parents in meeting our high standards in attendance and punctuality.

Dalkeith High School operates an online period registration system. This means that your child’s arrival at school in the morning, and attendance at each class of the day is registered by your child’s class teachers.

Teaching and learning begins at 8.40 a.m.
Throughout the day your child should move quickly and efficiently between classes to minimise disruption to learning.

If your child arrives late for school:
– a parental note is required
– the note should be given to school office staff on arrival
– the lateness will be recorded online in your child’s records
If your child arrives late, but before 10 a.m., you will receive a text alerting you to the late arrival.

It is understood that the publication of exam results can necessitate a change in course choice.  Appointments will be available to discuss potential amendments during the first week of the new term.  The link to these appointments will be available on results day, Tuesday 8 August.  Please check your emails and texts.  Pupils should make appointments on receipt of results and should not leave the booking of appointments until the return to school.
