Class Letters
Last week all children should have brought home a class letter from their teacher giving whānau information about their classroom programmes, routines and other information we hope will help. If you have any queries about any information in the class letter do not hesitate to come and see your child’s teacher. Any children that did not receive a class letter or who are new this week will bring one home today.
