Nut Aware Policy reminder

A reminder that we have students with serious nut allergies at school so no nuts or nut products are to be sent to school in children's lunchboxes.

Parks Committee 

We are looking for a parent volunteer for Wednesday evenings once a month, to represent the school on the Uraidla Parks Committee. The Parks Committee is responsible for the use and maintenance of the town oval and surrounds adjacent the school. Please let Margie know if you would be interested in helping us out in this way! 

Drink bottles please 

As the weather gets warmer, we are noticing kids needing their drink bottles all day. A considerable number of students are arriving each day without a drink bottle.  Please make it a priority each morning to check your child has their bottle with them, and that it is clearly named so we can make sure it makes its way home if it goes wandering. Thank you!

Thank You!

A big THANK YOU to all parents who volunteered to help with Sam's 1/2 and Stephen's 3/4 tuckshops over the past few weeks!

CHECK: Covid measures 

Here are the current recommendations from the Department for Education:  

COVID safe measures

  • All students and staff must stay home if unwell, even mildly. If students become unwell at school, we are unable to care for them here and we will be contacting you to collect them asap. Please have a plan in place for someone who can collect your child within a half hour. 
  • We will be maximising ventilation by leaving doors/windows open, using air conditioning and fans, and keeping doors and windows open. 
  • Adults will practise physical distancing where possible. 
  • We will continue to practise and promote hand and respiratory hygiene. Hand sanitiser will be provided for regular use, and disposable masks.

Face masks

  • We are still recommending adults and children in Years 3-6 to wear masks inside, to minimise the risk of infection. However we are now leaving this up to individual discretion.

Pick up and drop off

  • In the morning please continue to drop children off at one of the entrances to the school grounds, and allow them to make their own way to their classrooms. If you need to speak to your child’s teacher, please make contact through the SeeSaw app. 
  • We are now welcoming families to come into the yard at the end of the day

Assemblies 

  • Assemblies are now allowed to be held in person once again with COVID safe measures in place, once a fortnight on the Friday of every odd week at 2:30 unless informed otherwise.
