Thank you for your ongoing support of staff and families / whānau in our school.
Your response to yesterday’s announcement that Ōpāwa School was closing, was really appreciated by staff as we look into an unknown journey, but a journey that we can travel together with support and kindness.
There is some certainty in the coming days and weeks:
- SCHOOL IS CLOSED.
- Children of ESSENTIAL WORKERS (and ONLY those that fit this criteria) are welcome at school tomorrow Wednesday 25th. There are staff here to supervise from 9.00am - 3.00pm. Please email me - sally@opawa.school.nz if your child will need to be supervised tomorrow.
- The school will be CLOSED TO ALL STUDENTS from Thursday 26th March.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE
- In the finer detail of the Minister of Education, Mr Chris Hipkins announcement yesterday, was the signal that school will be closed for ALL STUDENTS on Thursday 26th March and this will SIGNAL THE END OF TERM 1.
- For staff, including office staff at Ōpāwa School this means that from Thursday 26th March until Wednesday 15th April when Term 2 is scheduled to begin, they will be taking their school break. Please also note that we will be working remotely from the 15th April and we will not be back onsite at Ōpāwa School until further notice.
- This week our staff are committed to providing resources for those without internet access and/or devices, and we have also created some online resources for you to access this week and at your leisure - http://www.opawa.school.nz/learning-at-home-2020.html
- Staff will check emails infrequently in the next 2 weeks, and will be taking a break, but will all be making preparations for a return to more interactive learning online from the 15th April.
- Tomorrow, Wednesday 25th March, from 12 – 3pm there will be boxes of library books at the Newbury St gate for you to take home to read and to keep. These will be labelled ‘picture books’, ‘fiction books’ and ‘senior fiction books’. Please help yourself to some that you think your child(ren) will enjoy.
- I am available at any time on my email address. Please do not hesitate to contact me - sally@opawa.school.nz
Ngā mihi and take care everyone,
We are all in this together.
Sally
