Information for the week

Hi Parents and whānau.

We hope you have all had a relaxing weekend. We are looking forward to another week of having all our kids back on-site learning. Thank you for helping us to return all our devices so quickly so our kids can use them this week.

Just a heads up on two things for the start of the week.

The Orchards development across the road is going to be working on their main driveway into their facility for the next fortnight. If you are dropping kids off on Reading Street please only use the school side and not the other side by the houses or their construction area. If you are parking and coming in, we suggest that you park on East Street during this time where possible.

Remember we are in Alert Level 2 and we all need to follow the Health and Safety restrictions. Please make sure that you look at the summary below so you know what you need to do. We appreciate all your help and support to keep us all safe.

See you tomorrow!

Wind and children

Hi Parents
We noticed today there were a few children concerned about the wind and its affects around school and they may talk to you about them. Please reassure them that it was windy but it will all be alright, we are all fine and have it all under control. We did keep children inside during the final break time, have a door damaged, some tree limbs come down and we put a few classes in the library for 15 minutes while we checked a bigger tree (sounds worse than it was)..we are all good!
Please be confident we had everything under control but were being extra cautious with everyone’s safety. We hope that the wind stops soon and you all enjoy your weekend.

School starts tomorrow – device returning

Hi everyone

We are looking forward to all our children being back on site for learning tomorrow. Yah!! I know there are many kids who are excited to see all their friends again.

Parents remember to check the notice sent out yesterday about Level 2. If you can not find it it is on our Facebook and website too.

Kids…. It is time to get out your uniforms and shoes (make sure they are clean and ready to go), pack your bag with your drink bottle and lunchbox (pack a little bit more as you are used to snacking at home), get ready to go to bed early…and if you have a school device then put it beside your bag ready to bring back to school with its charger.

In the morning

– Year 7/8’s take your device and charger to your class and your teacher will sign you off our list.

– Year 0-6’s bring your iPads and Chromebooks to the library from 8.30 onwards and give them to Mr Preston, Mrs Hopkins or I so we can sign them off, clean them and return them back to the right place or others to use.

Parents:  If your child is not able to use hand sanitiser parents can send them to school with their own hypoallergenic soap to use in a plastic bag.

See you tomorrow!

Clarification on parents wearing masks

A few parents have asked us about parents who need to come onsite “Do I need to wear a mask?”. The Ministry of Education advisor has said via email to this question “Face masks are not compulsory on school site however we encourage people to wear them when possible. Tracing, the physical distancing of 2m away from others and hygiene practices when entering and exiting are compulsory”
