Welcome back!
A special welcome to our new tamariki and their whānau:
Shaylin and Peighton Mau-Collins, Michael Maxwell and Jaycob Tipene.
COVID – 19 Level 2 Lockdown
Alert Level 2 applies to us at Kaikohe East School.
Sign in Rules
You must sign in every time you enter our school gates using the manual visitor sign- in booklet and the NZ Covid tracing app both in the school office.
We are still noticing that not all visitors are following the “sign in rules” If this continues we will be forced to go back to locking the school gates and asking whanau to only come in for emergencies.
At Alert Level 2 it is safe for all students, children and staff to attend school and early learning. There will be appropriate precautions in place.
Children and staff who are at higher-risk of severe illness are encouraged to take additional precautions when leaving home.
Please be alert to illness and ask anyone who is presenting as unwell to go home, or ask parents and caregivers to come and pick the child up.
Messaging about good hand hygiene and cough and sneeze etiquette to be reinforced.
Soap and water is very appropriate for washing hands, particularly if hand sanitiser stocks are low.
For schools, children, young people and staff should be far enough away from each other so that they are not breathing on or touching each other, coupled with good hygiene practices and regular cleaning of commonly touched surfaces. There does not need to be a specific measurement but where practicable and reasonable 1 metre can be used as a guide, particularly between adults.
In early learning there does not need to be a measurable physical distance between children/ tamariki or children/tamariki and staff. However adults should where practicable use 1 metre as a guide between themselves and other adults.
Physical distancing of 2 metres is recommended for parents and caregivers, from people they don’t know (to align with public health measures outside the school grounds).
We have the QR code posters for the NZ COVID Tracer App at the school office
Masks
Masks are not required at schools and early learning services at Alert levels 2 and 3.
Hockey
It was great to see hockey being played last Saturday with the few changes made to game play and signing in when entering the turf having only a minor effect on the flow of the day.
