I trust you have all enjoyed a fun filled, yet relaxing time with your children and are ready to deal with whatever Term 2 has to offer. We welcome three new entrant children and their families this week, Alexa (who joins big brother Riley), Lucian & Liam, and to Aston and Blake who have also joined us here at Ngaere.

SICK CHILDREN:

As covid is making itself known in the community again, we would like to remind families that if your child/ren have flu like symtoms, please keep them home. If they do happen test positive for covid they are required to isolate for 7 days.

Also as the Ministry are clamping down on truancy, just a friendly reminder that if your child/ren are a going to be away from school, please let the school know. This can be done either by phone 764 8643, the school loop app, or email office@ngaere.school.nz. Thank you.

NEWSLETTER: As you may have noticed, our newsletter is a little different. This is because we are now doing it through the Ngaere School Website. We have hopefully have transferred everyones email across to the new platform, but if you or someone you know has not received the newsletter, or would like to receive the school newsletter, please let Karen in the office know and we will add the email address to the mailing list.

UNIFORM: With the weather turning cooler it is important that your child has a warm outer layer. Our school uniform is either the blue polar fleece or the black jacket. Non uniform jerseys or jackets should not be worn. Please ensure all items of clothing are clearly named. There is also a small selection of secondhand thermals available from the school office which may be worn under the school polo shirts.
