COVID-19 Alert Level 2
Sun Feb 14 07:56pmKia ora koutou,
As from 11.59pm tonight the rest of the country (outside of Auckland) will move into Alert Level 2. For us as a school community, it will mean the following:
– Please drop off and pick your children up at the school gate.
– If you enter the school grounds, you must scan in.
– Hygiene is improtant. Children will be sanitising regularly at school.
– All children are expected to attend school as per normal and their absences will be treated as per our normal attendance policy.
– If your child feels sick – you MUST KEEP THEM AT HOME. I can’t stress enough how important this is……
– For us as a school we will be running as per normal with some slight changes.
The above information will be updated as soon as we receive advice from the Ministry of Health.
