Together we learn, together we grow

Afternoon all, 

Please look out for notices this afternoon, there are a few coming home. 

Thanks

Good Morning Whanau, 

After an incredibly messy I'm finally back on board and in Team Huia. I want to apologize for the interruption to your child's learning. I understand it was less than ideal and I did not take my decision lightly. It's bee a rough few months for me both emotionally and physically so I'm glad to be coming out on the other side in roughly one piece! 

As you can imagine we have a lot to catch up on and I'm well organised to make sure your child meets all goals and markers I've set for the middle of the year. We have a very busy term ahead with lots of learning and lots to do. 

Parent teacher interviews. As we didn't get a chance last term to have these I'd like to offer the chance to meet with me over week three. I will be available  Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 3.10 until 5.00. If you're wanting to come in and chat with me please email me with a time you'd like. I'll treat it like interviews last term with 15 minute time slots. First in first served. 

Any questions you've got, as always, please email. 

Thanks, 

Jess

Tomorrow we will meet at school at 9.30. We will then make our way to the RSA and from there we will march down to the square. We would like to invite any Rongotea school student to join us. Please be in school uniform and collect your child from the RSA once the service has finished.

Tēnā koutou whānau,

At Wednesday's staff meeting we had a discussion around student drop offs, and we have decided to strengthen that procedure to ensure the safety and supervision of all our tamariki. We would like to share a quick procedure that will start on Tuesday (no school Monday as ANZAC Day is Mondayised) regarding our morning drop-off routines:

School Opening: Our school day officially begins at 8:30 am, which is when the bell rings and classrooms open for the day.

Early Arrivals: We understand that some families may need to drop children off slightly earlier. Students are allowed on school site from 8:15 am.

Waiting Area: If your child arrives between 8:15 am and 8:30 am, they are required to sit quietly outside their classroom and wait for the 8:30 am bell before entering. This is not a time for them to play and roam around the school. 

Please note that there is no formal supervision available before 8:30 am.

Thank you for your support. 

Staff of Rongotea School

Evening everyone,

Tomorrow afternoon at 2.30pm we are holding our annual school ANZAC Service.

You are more than welcome to come along and be a part of this if you like. It is out the front of the school by the flagpole.

Each class will lay a wreath and poppies followed by our Head Students reading their speeches they are also saying at the Rongotea Service on Saturday morning.

Thanks,

Jenna
