PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Kia ora koutou,
Thank you to all the parents who are starting to bring back the updated contacts form that went out a couple of days ago. It is really important that we have the most updated information available incase we need to get a hold of you in emergencies.
Cold and Flu Symptoms
This week we have seen an increasing number of students away from school due to presenting with cold and flu symptoms or simply because they have been household contacts of positive cases. We envisage that this trend will continue for another 3 weeks or so, Please be very very vigilant when checking for signs each morning with your own children.
A reminder that any student who is isolating because they are household contacts should be able to access the learning at home opportunities provided by their class teacher. If you need more work for your children who are at home then please make contact with your child's class teacher and they will arrange for this to happen.
Nga mihi,
Simon Bell
