Tissues and Plasters

If you are out shopping and notice a good bargain on tissues and plasters, please remember our school. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated, Please drop them off   at the school office.

Absentees

As you all know there are some nasty illnesses going around and they are hitting everyone hard. We have had lots of staff and students as well as their families out sick. Please make sure we all taking care of ourselves and sick children stay home until they are better.

To report an absent student, you can text, email, phone or leave a phone message to inform the office that your child/ren will not be attending school on that day as well as telling us the reason why they will be away.  

Uniforms

If your child/ren can not wear any part of their school uniform and needs to wear something different, a note or message from home is required.

It is important that all of your child/ren's uniform is named. This makes it easier to find the owner of the clothing, especially if we start using the swimming pool next term.

Children will be required to wear their school hat in Term 4. Please make sure your child has one and it is named on the inside. Hats can be purchased from Kalene at the office.

Playing on school grounds after school

If your child wants to play at school before 4.15pm and is not in after-school care, then they will need a parent to accompany them. 

When the children come up to school after hours it is not the responsibility of our After care supervisor to look after your child/ren. Their job is to supervise the children who are booked and paying for aftercare. Please remind your children that they are not allowed inside the classrooms or use any of the the sports gear/toys that is for Aftercare.

Out of School Care

Make sure that you book your child into Before and After School Care by either emailing office@ridgeview.school.nz or phoning the school on 027 593 5963.  If your child/ren is booked in but not attending a session, contact the school so changes can be made.

In Before School Care if your child is not attending the session and you do not contact the school, you will still be charged for the session.

Looking after the school

Please inform the school if you notice any suspicious  behaviour or activity being done by those visiting the school out of hours.

We have found matches and other things objects around the school which lets us know people are doing stupid things after hours.

We know the school is the hub of the community and we want to make sure it is a place where the community can come and play.
