Raureka School Term 1 Week 3
Newsletter 16 February 2022
PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Kia ora koutou katoa, Talofa lava, Kia orana,
We finished today at 12:30 so we could have a chance to meet with parents on a one to basis to find out the tamariki and see how we can best help them.
All classes use Seesaw at school to support learning, log on details have been shared with families. Please remember to log on to Seesaw as this will give you access to work online for the class, you also get to see what they are doing in class- teachers often share some of the great things they are doing in class.
We are moving into the Phase 2 of the Covid response plan- please make sure that if your child is sick please keep them home and if they have Covid like symptoms please get them tested.
As soon as I get the most up to date information from the Ministry of Education I will share it with you all.
Email addresses:
We require email addresses for both parents. Would you please email the office on office@raureka.school.nz - include your child's name and both email addresses please.
If this could be done as soon as possible, it would be greatly appreciated.
Some parents use the same email address - if that is the case please let us know. Thank you.

Medical Reminders
IMPORTANT: Children are NOT to carry any form of medication in their bags etc. All medication must be held in the office. Parents must complete a Medical Form to enable staff to administer medication.
We often have a few ‘bugs’ around the school.
· A common one is a nasty cough/flu type illness. Keep your children home if they have symptoms of this as it spreads easily.
· If your child has had vomiting or diarrhoea, they MUST stay home for 2 days after the last event. This illness definitely spreads quickly around the school.
· Headlice are always around so make sure that you check your child’s hair regularly (we suggest weekly) and treat the hair if necessary. We have treatments available from school for free. Just pop in and we can give you some.
· If your child is at all unwell, please keep them home so that they don’t pass bugs on to other children. Also if a child is feeling unwell they are not able to learn easily and are much better off at home snuggled up in bed.
Don’t forget to contact the school office to let us know when your child is unwell please.
Volunteers needed for supervision of our school patrollers.
The children are well trained, it is just a matter of having an adult supervise from 8.30-9.00. Please contact Chris in the school office if your are able to help (even if you have helped in the past, please confirm).
