Good morning all


Just sharing that we are having a fun hour of Athletics to replace the more formal Athletics morning that we had planned prior to Covid hitting our school. We have been asked if parents can come and while this is short notice you are welcome but please know that there are no formal events happening, just a bit of fun and fitness.


Blessings for your day


 

Covid Update for our school

Thu Nov 17 12:36pm

Dear families/whānau


As mentioned previously we are seeing an increase in the number of children and staff who have now tested positive for Covid. It is now having a big impact on how we are able to function as a school.  I have spoken to Maria Amey, our Board Presiding Member and our senior adviser in the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education has given approval for the school to ask parents to keep their children at home on Friday and Monday for those that are able too.



We need to all work together to break the spread of Covid throughout the school. Minimising numbers on Friday, over the weekend and Monday will hopefully see a break in the cycle of transmission.


Please know that our school will remain open for those who need to send their children to school on Friday and Monday.


We will return to a hybrid learning model for Friday and Monday. Your child has access to a range of learning opportunities such as Seesaw, Reading Eggs, EPIC, Mathletics etc. We have tried our very best to get on top of this however our staff are now very compromised, more so than in any other time over the last two years.



If you are able to keep your child at home for Friday and Monday then can you please let the office know. We will keep you updated as we move through this – messages will go out on facebook, School App and using HERO. 



Again, school will be open for those who need to send their child.Thank you in advance for your understanding and support.



Blessings


Caroline, Maria and the team at OLOL

You can log into Seesaw here.
