Answers needed for Devices, hardpacks and possible Level 3 bubbles
Thursday 19th August 2021
Hi Parents
We are just preparing (just in case) for the possibility of our Lockdown being extended or changed to Level 3 on Friday night.
To help us all, I need to know…(and spread the word to other parents so they can tell us too)
– Who would need a Ministry of Education HARD PACK (printed version) of learning to be ordered and delivered to your home address?
– If we went into Level 3 with only approved essential workers children on school site…who needs their child’s name to be registered for Level 3 onsite bubble classes?
Teachers have already been in contact with parents asking who would need a school device if we had to extend. If you have not told your teacher you need a device please let us know. (note: priority will be one per house. If others are available we could send 2 for houses with multiple children)
– Teachers are working on learning programmes just in case. If the lockdown is extended these will start on Wednesday 25th August when the current packs will finish.
Please email me at principal@greytown.school.nz or your classroom teacher as soon as possible with your name, contact details and address so I can add you to these lists.
Please note our priority is firmly on the well-being of you and your children. The learning we provide is there for your child to do as much and as little as you feel comfortable with. It is not there to create stress. We understand that many parents are still working from home. Please email your teacher or me if we can help you in any way.
Stay safe and be kind to yourselves.
Miss Patrice O’Connor
