From the principal's desk
Good afternoon Stanley Avenue families/ whānau. I trust you have had an enjoyable and productive week. It sure is hard to believe that we will be halfway through the term next Tuesday.
School grounds are open to the Stanley Avenue Community!
Please note, parents, families/whānau and school community members are welcome on site and we want you on site! During the Covid Pandemic we had to make procedural changes in order to protect all of us. You are an important part of our school, and we love catching up and seeing everyone.
Attendance
In the first newsletter of the term I included a blurb about attendance expectations, reinforcing that regular attendance is imperative for learning, socialisation and forming effective life habits.
Regular attendance is 90%, which means being present at school nine out of 10 days. I would like to thank the families/ whānau who have supported their children to increase their attendance over the last few weeks. Keep it up! Student’s that have attendance below 90% will be monitored as per our attendance procedures.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

HERO Digital Reports
Welcome to the start of Term 4!
This term we will be producing our very first digital end of year reports on HERO.
For this we need each parent to have their own email registered with us. You don’t need to use the email for anything else, you just need your own email to sign into the app on your phone. One of the fantastic things about HERO is that it is designed specifically as an app to work on phones and is the best way to access it. On the day that reports are sent it will be right there on your HERO app. On the report it will show you how you can download and print the report if you are wanting to, however it will always sit in their HERO profile for you.
The Hero app enables teachers and students to share information about a student’s learning, progress, and achievement to support learning and improve student outcomes.
It provides a platform for promoting student agency and building a strong partnership between the student, their teacher/s, and the student’s family.
Once you have downloaded HERO, open it and click on “new user”.
Next enter the email you have registered with us under your name, set your password and then either enjoy or let us know if there are any issues.
