𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗚𝗖 Kia ora koutou, With so much information and misinformation swirling around about COVID-19, I wanted to share with you what will happen IF we were to have a case in our school community. We have been planning for this and are in a position to respond quickly. As soon as a case is confirmed in our school community (eg. a student, staff member, or member of their household), the Medical Officer of Health and Ministry of Education will inform me about this, and we will work together to get quick and clear messaging out to you IF there was a case confirmed of someone in our school, we will likely be asked to close temporarily by the Medical Officer of Health. This will allow time for close contacts to be traced, appropriate testing to be undertaken, and a careful clean of the school to be undertaken. If our school does need to close temporarily, we have a plan in place to support student’s learning. We use Google Classroom as our main platform. Please ask you daughter about this and ask her to show you what her 'google classroom' looks like. It will look different for different subjects. We know COVID-19 feels scary and of course people are concerned. This is normal, as we have not experienced such a pandemic like this one before. Please be assured that your daughter is safe here. Her learning can continue, she has teachers who are well and happy to teach and she has good access to good hygiene. Our cleaners are working longer to ensure they are extra vigilant with touch points. Good hygiene is a priority at our school, and we are reinforcing this regularly with all students and staff. We ask you to reinforce this with your daughter and ask you to keep her at home if she feels unwell. The diagram attached may help. We are getting the most up to date advice and guidance so that we can confidently make informed decisions about the safety and wellbeing of our school community. This information comes from the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education. Ngā mihi Tara Kanji Principal/Tumuaki
