Welcome Back
It has been a busy holiday and I am excited about all of the learning we have planned for this term. Our wonderful caretaker and his incredible team have been hard at work and the school looks amazing - big thanks to Richard, Deb and Ray. Room 14 now has some gorgeous new carpet BUT the timing didn’t work in my favour and most of our classroom is still stacked up in the hall. Guess what we’re doing on Monday morning?
Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences
Tuesday 10 May 3.15 - 6.45pm Wednesday 11 May 3.15 - 5.35pm
Bookings are now open. Families can choose the day that will work best for them. Students and their parent(s) need to attend a 10 minute appointment on one of these two days. There are a number of ways bookings can be made.
Either:
1) Go to the School App and then the Links section then School Interviews. Enter the code akwma
2) Go to www.school interviews.co.nz and enter the event code akwm
Mother’s Day
Next Sunday is Mother’s Day and the PTA is running a Gift Store for the children to buy their treasures for their mums.
Reminders:
School starts at 8.45 am for all students. There will not be staff at the gates in the morning and students will be permitted to come into school as they arrive. We do ask that you drop your child off at a reasonable time - when the kids are in the room we like to give them our full attention so 8-8:30am is often the only time we have to set up the learning for the day and catch up on paperwork.
School finishes at 3.00 pm for all students except bus students who will leave their classrooms at 2.50 pm.
Students are to sanitise their hands as they come through the school gates and, yes, we are still wearing masks.
If your child is late to school they must report to the office before they go to class.
If your child needs to isolate because they have Covid they must isolate for 7 days, effectively 5 days of school. There will no longer be a Home Learning programme offered to students who are absent. Children should just focus on getting well.
Winter uniform is to be worn. We do appreciate that some uniform items are unavailable at the moment.
Charge your Chromebooks! We will be using them this week. A few people got caught out last term.
Don't forget to fill in your reading log - we want that class treat so we need every single reading log to be handed in.
Save the Date:
