Term 2 Week 6 - Welcome to School

Welcome to week 6 and welcome to school in the classroom!!  I am really looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow morning.  It definitely has been strange to think I have had a class for two weeks and we have not been together at all. 
Please bring a named water bottle every day for your child as the drinking fountains cannot be used.
Children can wear mufti or their school uniform all this week.
Please check the blog regularly this week as I will try to add a little bit of information most days so that I don't overload you with too much information all at once.
I have checked with Mr. MacMillan and although other parents are not allowed into their child's classroom, all parents of our class (Kakano 7) are allowed in the classroom in the morning.  Brigitte will meet you tomorrow morning at the office at 9:30am and will bring you down to the classroom (Room 11).

We are ready for the start on Monday and have set up sanitiser stations in the classroom along with soap dispensers and paper towels. Staff will be ensuring that door handles, hard surfaces, and class equipment will be sanitised periodically throughout the day. All the classrooms have been cleaned over the lockdown period. 
We do ask that if your child is unwell that you do not send them to school. It is important that your child has totally recovered before they are sent back to school. It is expected that a child would be away for at least 48 hours if they have been unwell. Also if your child becomes unwell at school the office will notify you and you will need to collect ASAP.

What will school look like under Alert Level 2?
Drop off 8:45-9:00 
We encourage parents to drop their children at the gate and not enter the school grounds. Parents are advised they must not enter any classrooms, please. If you need to contact your child’s teacher please email, text or a written message can come with your child.
Any students who come to school after 9am will need to come in via the Carnot Street entrance and be accompanied by an adult when they report to the School Office.
Pickup 2:30-2:45
You can collect your child from the classroom at the end of the day, you will need to scan a QR code to enter the school or have your photo taken. There are posters at the gates with instructions. This is so the school has a record of who has been on-site for contact tracing. IF you would like to collect your child from a gate please let me know in the morning and when the other children in the class have been collected, I will bring them to the gate to meet you.
Contact Tracing at St Mary’s
We have registered our school location for contact tracing via tracing.co.nz. Our location code is 080045.
If you need to get to work earlier than the stated times of drop off you could take your children to Before School Care at Glenholme School. The contact details are Maryanne Roling 0211215599. Maryanne will bring the children over to St Mary’s at 8.45am.

See you all in the morning. 😀
