Tēnā koutou katoa,
COVID
That dreaded Covid is present in all syndicates throughout the school including parents and staff. Please keep your children home if they are unwell and test them if they are symptomatic.
TEACHER ONLY DAY – THURSDAY 28TH MARCH
School is closed on Thursday 28th March so that we can have our Parent Teacher interviews. Only come in if you have an appointment for an interview.
EASTER TUESDAY
Tuesday 2nd April is Easter Tuesday. All schools will be closed as this is a school holiday (not a public holiday).
PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS
As per usual, we will have two dates for parent-teacher interviews. This acknowledges that some parents can come during the day and some prefer an after work timeframe. We like children to be involved but it is up to you if you’d like them to be part of the interview
1. The first parent teacher interview day/evening is Tuesday 26th March, after school, starting at 3:20pm.
2. The second parent teacher interview day is part of a Teacher Only Day on Thursday 28th March starting at 9:30am.
More information on how to book the interviews will be sent out soon.
* Kidshub will be open on this day. Please book directly with Kids Community Hub
Please note: If there aren’t at least 15 children enrolled, Kidshub will not be able to offer this service.
