Week 6 Term 1

 Sick Children

I am well aware that it is difficult for working parents to juggle sick children and work, however for everyone's safety please keep your child home if they are sick. 

Should your child test positive for Covid please contact the school. We have to let the Ministry of Education know how many positive cases are reported to us each day. Thanks for your help with this. Please send a message to any of the following:

Anne Cato (annec@stmarysrotorua.school.nz)
David Macmillan (davidm@stmarysrotorua.school.nz)
School Office (schooloffice@stmarysrotorua.school.nz or ph 3481701

We have had some discussions about being kind to others who have been away from school sick or isolating. Please remind your child to always be kind and think of others. 

Reading at home 

Please help your children by making sure they are regularly reading at home. This can be independent or with an adult, but reading longer texts where the story covers a number of days is best. A small number of students did not bring their books to change on Thursday, please remind your child that Thursday is Library day. A few students said they were part-way through a novel, this is fine.
