Parent Portal and Reporting
We are delighted to be able to launch our new reporting system, LINC-ED. We are excited to share this with you and involve you in your child’s learning journey.
At Puketapu School our aim has been to implement a robust system that allows teachers, parents, and students to access learning in an online environment that is secure, easy, and effective.
LINC-ED allows teachers to share learning anytime, anywhere and this can be viewed on any device. We are excited about the potential that the software offers. The report is designed to build year on year so that over time you will have access to comments, assessments, images, video and helpful resources all in one place.
Linc Ed Progressions Based Reporting to Parents (video link)
We will be opening up our LINC-ED parent portal in Week 10 (Wednesday) where you will be able to see:
Reading, Writing and Maths (Number & Algebra) Goals (what they are working on and what they have achieved)
Learning Comments (First half of Year) and General Comment (around our School Values and the Key Competencies from the New Zealand Curriculum)
Student Learning that your child has selected to share with you
Here is more information about for parents around how this will look for you: Slideshow for Parents
Please take care at our gate
Please take care at our gate and crossings, especially in bad weather. Remember that yellow lines are not for parking on - this is to keep all of our tamariki safe.

The Tech Hub
Kia ora whanau.
This week we are working on our prototypes for a product to store or hold something.
I have brought in an example of a vertical planter made from 3 repurposed plastic bottles.
We would love to create a whole wall of these, so if you have any at home can we please have them.
Just a reminder of the tech fee, we still have a huge number if families that haven't paid theirs yet. It's really important to pay these fees these as I need it to pay for ingredients. If you think you are going to have trouble paying this can you please let Paula or myself know.
Unfortunately I am unable to be at school this Thursday, so if you were planning in popping in please email me to make an alternative time.
Nga Mihi,
Mrs Wigley.
SPRING into Maths!
Mrs Paterson would like to invite parents or whanau to be trained in taking a group of students for a SPRING maths program.
SPRING stands for:
Start counting,
Patterns,
Reinforcing strategy,
Identifying numbers,
Number facts,
Game.
SPRING is intended to help move students from one level of maths to another by consolidating the skills they need.
Mrs Paterson will do the planning and training for anyone who is available to help with SPRING in our school.
You do not have to be a whizz at maths but you do need a kind heart for our tamariki.
The SPRING programme is
half an hour a day
4 days a week
for 5 weeks only
(then we can start another group of students if you are available for more).
This would happen in class or in a space we can find for you in school.
Please email Mrs Paterson spaterson@puketapu.school.nz if you are interested and available to help. We will plan to train people in the first week for term 3.
We are looking forward to fun maths sessions working with our whaanau and tamariki in Term 3.

Great Effort Whanau!
Collectively we got some great bargains and we earned $795.78 for the school!
Thank you to Noel Leeming - what a great way to earn, save and spend all at the same time!
