Alert Level 3 onsite learning

Hi Parents and Caregivers

We need to know TODAY if your child/ren are going to need to be in an Alert Level 3 bubble class on our school site from Wednesday 1st September 2021, as we need to organise and ensure we have adequate staffing and Health and Safety in place.

Please keep in mind:

We need to emphasise, the school will only be open from Wednesday for ESSENTIAL WORKERS children who CANNOT be supervised at home, due to all caregivers needing to be AWAY FROM HOME for their employment, and have NO OTHER ADULTS/OLDER SIBLINGS OF LEGAL AGE who are able to look after them instead.

The government has stated that their most ideal choice is for children to STAY AT HOME and to continue home learning either online or with hardpacks delivered during Level 3.

Information from the Ministry of Education has clearly explained life at school will be very different from normal. There are strict rules that we will need to follow eg: Remain at least a metre from each other inside (unless siblings) and 2 metres outside, no playgrounds will be open, playtimes will be different as bubble groups must remain separate, different entry/exit gates for bubble group parents, children will use individual sports equipment/learning tools etc.

Thank you to those families who have already let us know. We will be in touch on Monday or Tuesday morning at the latest (depending on the number of bubbles required) with all the information that you will need to follow.

If you have not registered your child/ren please contact me TODAY via email: principal@greytown.school.nz

Thanks
Patrice O’Connor
