Back to School, Monday May 18! Gate opens at 8.30 am.
The staff and Board of Edmund Hillary School are excited to welcome back all Learners this coming Monday.
It feels like the start of the year all over again! Just like the start of the year, we have some ways to keep children happy and safe when they come back to school on Monday.
PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILD AT HOME IF S/HE IS SICK.. HELP US TO LOOK AFTER EVERYONE.
Guidelines for coming back to school
● All children are to be dropped off and picked up at the gate by the carpark on Hunua Road. All other gates will remain closed.
● School Times: 8.40am to 2.30pm
● Whanau need to make an appointment with the office to come into the school.
● We will have school staff at the gate to welcome students back.
● A teacher will be waiting at the classroom door, to greet them, make sure
they sanitise and show them to their place. There will be no playing in the
playground before or after school.
● Each learner has their own chair, a special place to sit and put things.
● There will be a nice safe distance between each child’s place.
● Each child who has one, needs to bring device and charger, morning tea,
lunch and a named water bottle. Our school drinking fountains have all been
shutdown to be safe.
● Outdoor play equipment will be washed daily.
We will review our procedures in 2 to 3 weeks time. Our aim is to keep our
children, staff and whanau as safe as we can over this early stage. All calls to the
office: 09 2989132 or messages via the Skool Loop App.
