Preparing for a COVID Case
14 February 2022
Dear Parents/Caregivers
We take the health, safety and welfare of all of our students, staff and school community very seriously. We expect that in the near future, even with our thorough hygiene protocols, we will be alerted to positive COVID-19 cases in our school community.
Please read the following information carefully.
If your child has attended school in an Area with a confirmed positive COVID-19 case, they will be identified as a close contact. Please be assured we will take immediate action to notify you and request you collect your child from school.
We will alert you via
- your email address on our database
- our SchoolAppNZ alert system. You will receive this alert: We have a confirmed COVID case. Your child has been identified as a close contact. Please collect your child from school immediately.
On your arrival, please identify yourself to the staff member stationed at the pick up zone. The staff member will then text your child’s name to the Area Whānau Leader who will release your child from the Area to meet you.
If you are unable to collect your child during the school day, your child will be supervised in the Area until 2:45 pm.
Your child will need to get tested immediately and isolate. Household members do not need to isolate unless your child tests positive. Further Ministry of Health guidance will be provided in the email from us.
Please ensure you have joined your child’s Area alert group in SchoolApps. Instructions to do this are in this video:
Working together we will get through this. Thank you in advance for your kindness, cooperation and support.
