Newsletter #1
Port Ahuriri School 31 January 2023
Dear Parents & Caregivers
Welcome back to school for 2023. I hope that you have all had a restful summer break and have managed to spend time with your whanau and loved ones. I had a great time tripping around Northland with my whanau and really enjoyed a slow paced summer. It has been awesome seeing all the smiles coming across road patrol in the mornings and I've heard some great stories about summer holiday adventures from the tamariki.
Meet the Teacher
Over the next 2 weeks we are holding meet the teacher sessions. This is a chance for you to have a catch up with your child's teacher, talk about your aspirations for the year, discuss your child's needs and wants, and ask any questions you may have about their learning. These will be held on 7th, 8th, 13th & 14th February from 3.15pm to 5.30pm
Please make sure to book yourself a slot at https://www.schoolinterviews.co.nz and enter the code m8dmw
