Newsletter 201621 - 6 July 2016

Mid-Year Reports  Mid-Year Reports will come home today, Wednesday 6th July. If your child has been at school for less than 6 weeks they will not receive a report, however, you can make a time with their teacher if you wish to discuss anything.

Please come and see us if there are any concerns about your child’s report or if you would like any further explanations.

Also while we try very hard to ensure reports are error free sometimes we can miss things. Do not hesitate to come and show us any errors so we can alter them and give you an error free report.

Please note of your child’s attendance on their report. If your child’s attendance says unsatisfactory it means that they have attended school less than 80% of the school year. While we understand that sometimes the absences are explained it is still important for whanau to know how much time children are away from school.

Attendance of your child

If whānau wish to check on your child’s attendance at any time please come and see your child’s teacher. They can print a graph and other information to show individual attendance for Term 1 or 2.

Room 1 Attendance

The whānau of Room 1 are urged to please try to get their child/children to school more often. Whaea Angela has only had 11 days this year that every child has been present.
