Student Achievement MeetingsEarly Finish For School Tuesday 3 July and Wednesday 4 JulyThis year we will start these meetings at 1:30 p.m. so that we can provide enough time slots for all families to meet with their child's teacher over the two days. Buses will run from 12:30 pm. This does mean students need to be picked up at 12:30 pm if they are not on the bus. SKIDS will be available see notice below. Please be mindful that all students need to be picked up at this time as teachers will be preparing for the meetings. Student Achievement Meetings are next Tuesday 3 July and Wednesday 4 July. There is still time to book a time if you haven't done so already. Please note: Blake room will only be on Tuesday. There is only 1 session available per child. This also applies for students whose parents have separated. To make your booking please go to www.schoolinterviews.co.nz Enter event code 5abvu then follow the instructions. This is a time to come along to meet with the teachers and discuss your child’s learning. We encourage you to make the effort to book a time, if you need help to book a time please contact the school office and we will book it for you. Bookings will close on Tuesday 3 July at 9 am. Mid-Year ReportsReports will be going home today with the eldest or only child. The reports have changed slightly this year as National Standards have gone and to include the inquiries students do as part of our International Baccalaureate programme. You will note that we have also removed ways in which you can help your child with their learning at home. This year at the SAM's you will receive a small booklet with a more comprehensive list across reading, writing and maths. Included with the report is your child's attendance report up to the end of yesterday. If your child has broken absence (a day here and there) of more than 5% this will be starting to affect their learning and this should be of concern to you. SKIDS Tuesday 3 July & Wednesday 4 JulySkids will be open from 12:30 pm on Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th July. Should you need care please check our website for booking www.skids.co.nz. You will need to register first for new bookings. For currently booked children please inform SKIDS staff if you need care from 12.30pm on the above 2 days. Phone 0211049128 / 021827252. Discarded LunchesWe have had some children leaving the sandwiches from their lunches on the Papakura bus in the mornings. We suspect that they are leaving them because they don't like them. Whilst sandwiches are a healthy part of a child's lunch, we encourage you to check with your child that the fillings you're putting on their sandwiches is still something that they like. Not only is this a problem for the bus driver, it's a waste of your time and money making a lunch for your child that they're throwing away before they get to school. Calendar Term 2
