Parent/Teacher goal setting interviews are scheduled for Thursday, 30 March, beginning at 2:10 p m for parents of Years 4 – 6 children. These interviews are an important opportunity for parents and teachers to meet to discuss specific academic and/or social objectives for the year ahead. For children in Years 1, 2, and 3 you will be invited to come in for an interview and discussion following your child's Anniversary Reporting cycle. Therefore, for children in Rooms 5, 6, 7 and 8 only the children who are Year 4 in these Year 3/4 composite classes will have an interview scheduled for 30th March.
We will be using a secure, web-based service, which allows parents to book an exact interview time using any computer connected to the internet.
Bookings for interviews opened Monday 13th March and can be made at the website http://www.schoolinterviews.co.nz using the school code vkeff. Although the vast majority of parents will be able to access the web from a home computer, a friend’s computer or a workplace computer parents may telephone or call into the office over the next week to arrange bookings through the school office.
Children will remain at school on the Thursday until the normal time of 3pm.
The goal setting sheet has been sent to you separately.
As part of the internal review processes of our school we are constantly assessing and adjusting our practice to ensure that we have the best systems and processes in place. Recently we have refined and adapted our morning tea and lunchtime procedures.
During morning tea and lunchtimes children are monitored by three duty teachers, who are stationed at different sections of the school. The duty teachers wear bright orange vests, so that they are easily identified by children, should they need any help. During the duty time teachers engage with children monitoring games being played and ensuring that the behaviour of children is appropriate. As a school, we like to focus on the positive, with much of our time reinforcing the fantastic behavioural choices of children. This may be in the form of an acknowledgement of the way children are playing or by allocating an "Absolute Best Voucher", which goes into the Absolute Best box, which is then drawn from on Monday morning assembly, when three children are drawn from the box to have morning tea with Mr McDonald.
At times, however, children do make choices which lead to inappropriate behaviour, which is then followed up by the duty teacher, Deputy Principal or Principal. In the case of an incident requiring follow up, we note down the names of children involved in this incident to identify any ongoing concerns we may have. Should children continue to be displaying inappropriate behaviour the following steps are taken:
During the past weeks we have noticed that children are starting to show signs of a few bugs, coughs, colds and flu like symptoms. Below are some guidelines from our Public Health Nurse, outlining when children should remain at home.
