Last week I let you know that mid-year reports will come home with the children at the end of the first week of next term.
I did, however, omit to say that these are only for children who have not had either a 6 week or a 6 month report already
this year. If your child has been at school less than 6 weeks, this will still be coming up. This is the case for all the children
in Waka and SOME of the children in Huia.
Please talk with one of the teachers if you are unsure about this.

Teaching staff are in the process of writing interim reports that will be ready to be sent home in the first week of next
term. These will be followed with Celebrating Learning evenings, where you will have the opportunity to discuss any
aspects of the report you would like to know more about.
The mid-year report format has changed - we opted to come back from lock-down and get on with ‘teaching’ rather than
spending several weeks completing formal assessments. Therefore, the report gives overall teacher judgments in key
learning areas as well as key competency levels and a general comment.

Now that we have everyone clear on the pick up/drop off points, there seems to be a smooth transition occurring
between us all. Thank you for the way you are supporting our child/ren - and please remember that there are up to 9
staff outside forming the ‘meet, greet and chat’ team if you wish to have a conversation.
If you are coming in to look at learning on a Friday morning, try to get here soon after 8.30am - this gives you more time
to browse before we are into taking the roll and starting morning programmes.
MEET and GREET POINTS
TKW -Waka - flagpole
TKW - Huia - behind the hall near aPlus
TKP - NEW MEETING POINT, near the library steps by the bike stands
TKM - at the front of the school

Isn’t it great to be back to alert level 1 as a country? While it will take some time for us to settle to another ‘new normal’,
please be assured that we are working really hard to get as many exciting and varied experiences as possible programmed
for the children here at school. While we have had to cancel SOME things in our calendar, we are doing our very best to
replace them with other events that will be exciting and entertaining as well.
CONSULTATION AROUND PICK UP/DROP OFF PROCEDURES
Thanks to everyone who replied to this consultation. The details and outcomes were sent home to you yesterday,
however, as a reminder, here are the summary points.
-
No one at school before 8.30am
-
EVERYONE is welcome onsite
-
Head to your meet and greet point following the 8.30am bell. A teacher will be there to greet and chat.
-
On Friday mornings, everyone is welcome to come into the classroom and share the week’s learning.
-
TKW and TKP children (and their older siblings) have the option to leave school at 2.45pm. Let your teacher know
by email if they will be a 2.45pm or a 3.00pm pick up from the meet and greet point.

Like you, we are waiting to see when our country will be able to go to Alert Level 1 as we continue to contain the Covid 19
virus.
Yesterday you received a google form consulting you on your views for some proposed ‘tweaks’ to continue our current
drop off and pick up times/places. These proposed changes come from us using new (and streamlined) procedures that
enhance health and safety for everyone and also set the tamariki up for independence and readiness to be starting
learning right on the 8.50am bell. Please only complete this once per family - https://forms.gle/y1ARfSLNqQxCv4Lr6
We thank you for your support with this and welcome your feedback.
While the opinions are collated and analysed, we will continue with the current arrangements.
