With parents and caregivers waiting at the gate, it feels like a divide between teachers and parents. If you need to speak to a teacher, pop a mask on and talk to your child's teacher. If something comes up outside of pick up and drop off times you can always message your child's teacher through Seesaw (this is just like messenger where you can have a private conversation) or you can email your child's teacher directly. For the wellbeing of the teachers, I have told them not to reply to emails (or messages) after 5:30pm as they will be spending time with their own families.

Teacher email addresses:

At this meeting the Board accepted the resignation of Shelley Nicholls who has been a Board member for the last 2 years. The Board would like to thank Shelley for all her time and energy she has brought to each meeting and wish her all the best with her future endeavours.

If you are interested in finding out more about the Board and all the things they do, make contact with the school and Ken (chairperson) or Wendy will be happy to talk through this with you.

Elections are later in the year as well, we will be looking for new members to take on this important governance role. Full support and training is given :)

We have had a couple of cases of school sores (impetigo) this week. If you notice anything suspicious on your child/ren please get them checked as they are highly contagious.

HEADLICE

Headlice cases have popped up across the school this week. If you could all check your child/rens hair and treat if necessary. We appreciate you help with the control of this.

ILLNESS

If your any student is unwell we will ring home to ask them to be picked up.

Ministry of Health guidelines say that students must stay away from school 48 hours after the last vomit or diarrhoea episode.

Breakfast Club will open in the hall at 8.35am and finish at 8.50am - weetbix followed by toast will be on offer.
