We were advised last night of a 3rd positive student case. Similarly to the one we advised yesterday, the positive test was picked up during routine day 3 testing and the student was already at home isolating.
The student was last at school on Thursday.
An email has been sent to the class affected.
As previously advised, please continue to monitor for symptoms and let us know if you have any concerns.

We have been advised that a second student has tested positive for Covid-19. The student was isolating at home and tested positive during the routine day 3 testing. The student was last at school on Thursday last week.
A separate email has been sent to the class affected.
Please continue to monitor your family for symptoms and let us know if you are isolating at home (as household contacts).
Again, if you have any concerns about Covid that we can help with, please get in touch.

Covid Positive Cases

We have our first student case of Covid advised to us today. The student has been away from school since Wednesday last week so the risk to the school community is considered low. We have also been advised of a staff member who is currently isolating as a household contact has tested positive. The staff member has not been at school since Friday last week.
A message will go to the class affected either by Seesaw or email to monitor for symptoms but as said in our previous communication we encourage everyone to monitor for symptoms.

Covid update 28 February 2022
Kia Ora Koutou Katoa
I know that we have entered an anxious and uncertain time with sharp increases in cases evident across the community and region.
At this stage, we have not been advised of any students or staff who are positive cases but we do have a few families who are isolating as household contacts. We also have a few staff who are isolating as household contacts.
Please get in touch with us to advise us of any Covid related information so that we can support your family as best we can. In the event that your child is isolating (but not unwell) the classroom teacher will make contact to support distance learning. This may not be until after school on day 1 however.
As a general piece of advice, please monitor for symptoms at all times, as the virus is definitely in the community.
Kind regards
Greytown School Staff
Covid Update
Kia Ora Koutou Katoa
Tonight we make the shift to phase 3 of the Omicron plan. We have been lucky to not be affected as a school up until now and with this new phase, the rules around who is considered a close contact become much less.
We would still ask that you let us know if your child is a confirmed case or is isolating due to being a household contact of a confirmed case so that we can advise the appropriate parts of the school community to monitor for symptoms. There is a helpful flow chart attached to help with how phase 3 works.
The school remains at Red Level and all of our public health measures remain in place until further notice. We thank you for your continued support with our public health measures.
kind regards
