Application for extended absence of a preschool education
In Oulu, regular attendance in preschool education is the standard. It is customary to report all absences, not just those due to illness. For absences of 1–5 days, please request permission from your child’s preschool teacher. For longer absences, contact the daycare center director. Absence permission is always granted, and no compensatory tasks are required.
If you report a continuous absence of more than five (5) days via the eVaka calendar, you will receive a prompt to submit an absence application. You can access the application through the “Submit Absence Application” link in the notification.
You can also submit the absence application directly via your child’s profile. Instructions below:
