Kia ora koutou,
It was a big relief to hear we are moving back to Alert Level 2 at the beginning of next week. We look forward to welcoming all our students and staff back onsite at that time!
Thank you once more to our parents and caregivers for the support and resilience you have shown through Alert Level 3.
Strong vigilance, good hygiene practices, coupled with the hard work our health authorities are doing to identify and support any confirmed cases and their close contacts remain important for all of us.
Just a reminder that at Alert Level 2 next week, we must adhere to key health measures including:
* Good hand hygiene and cough and sneeze etiquette
* Staying away if sick
* Keeping the appropriate physical distance from others (in class this means no touching each other and keeping out of breathing distance)
* Cleaning and disinfecting our high touch surfaces daily
* Displaying QR code posters and having a register for those who can’t use the app.
We know all these things will help to keep our community as safe as possible. Because of these measures, your child does not need to wear a face covering while at school. We will of course support them should they choose to do so.
For those of you who might be finding things more difficult than usual, a reminder that there is a large range of support available for businesses and the community. We encourage you to go to covid19.govt.nz for more information, or get in touch and we will help you to find the information and support you need.
We will update on Friday about our staggered break times, finishing times and our entry and exit for level 2.

Kia ora koutou katoa,
The government has informed us that school will be starting on Monday August 31st. ALL children need to return on this date UNLESS they have an illness that compromises their immunity. Please let me know if this is the case with your child. We strongly encourage you to send your child back to school on Monday.
If they have a school device it must come back and bring a water bottle. Taps will be closed.
We are closely following ministry health and safety guidelines to keep your child/children safe.
As part of the safety measurements we are asking parents to stay off school grounds.

If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact myself or a member of SLT. We look forward to being back onsite and continuing our work with your children.
Thank you so much for all that you have done during the lockdown to keep your children learning and to keep your whānau safe.
