Class Information Evening - Tomorrow Night

The class information evenings are scheduled for tomorrow evening - please

see page three for timings.

The information evenings are intended to provide an insight into what will be

happening in your child’s class this year. Later in the term we will be holding

parent - teacher interviews to report on your child’s development. Hence, the

class information sessions are just that - about the class, while not reporting on

individual students at this time. (See page 3).

Reminders

This is a ‘hat term’. Please ensure your child has their named school hat

at school every day.

For the sake of safety we ask that you inform us ahead of time if your child is

not going to be at school. Please use either the designated telephone number

(410 9551) or the absence option on the tiqbiz school app.

Haven’t downloaded the app yet? Please see below how to do this. The app

is an important communication tool that we will continue to use this year.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHANGE YOUR CHILD’S CLASSROOM IF YOU

HAVE ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE APP.

School Shoes: Uniform Checks

Checks on adherence to the school uniform will start from the week 22

February.

We ask that the school uniform requirements are respected. Please ensure your

child has the correct footwear, namely either all navy blue or all black sandals or

shoes with navy socks, if shoes are to be worn.

If there is a problem meeting this requirement, please contact

me:principal@campbellsbay.school.nz

SAMPLES ONLY

All black or all navy blue.

Tips on how to keep your children safe online at

home.

Sessions will be running during the class information evening. Please

come and join us in the library/learning hub for a 20 minute session.

6:00pm, 6:30pm or 7:00pm.

Before School

All children need to stay around the yellow bike shed area if they arrive at

school before 8:30am. No children are permitted to play on any playground

before school. Before 8:30am the school is not able to take responsibility for the

safety of children.

When the bell goes at 8:30am, the children can then go to their classrooms and

put their bags away. Please make sure that your children are aware of the

regulations before 8:30am.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Visiting the School

To ensure the safety of all our

students it is very important that

we know who is on the school site

at all times. Of course,

immediately before and after

school we have many parents

and caregivers visiting the school

and this is expected. We also

have occasions when

parents/caregivers are invited to

attend an event, such as cross

country. However, outside of

these ‘drop off’ and ‘pick up’ times

and ‘special occasion times’

times’ it is very important that all

parents/caregivers who come to

the school ‘sign in’ at the office

before going anywhere else on

the school site. The signing in

involves wearing a visitor tag on a

lanyard. This then helps the

teachers to ascertain the visitor

has recorded their presence at

the office. This does not apply to

parents/caregivers who are

helping in the class alongside the

teacher.

As a school we welcome

parent/caregiver involvement and

this, clearly, means we will have

numerous visitors to the school at

any given time. With your help we

will always know who is on the

school site. This is also useful

should an emergency evacuation

be needed as we must know how

many people need to be

accounted for. Thank you for your

understanding and co-operation.

Smoke Free

In accordance with the Smoke

Free Environments Act, the

school is required to be 100%

smoke free both indoors and

outdoors. Please do not smoke

on the school property (including

in the grounds).

Electronic Registers at CBS

CBS uses an electronic roll that has approval from the Ministry of Education. The roll will be taken twice daily: 8:55am and

1:25pm. It is important, therefore, for you to ensure that your child is at school promptly by 8:55am. Many important

notices are also shared at this time. Attendance codes are recorded for any lateness or absences.

Please advise the office of any absences or lateness by phoning 410 9551, emailing:

safetycheck@campbellsbay.school.nz or using the absence button on the mobile phone app. These messages are

checked every morning from 9:00am.

Please do not email the classroom teachers as often these messages are not passed on to the school office and you will

receive an unnecessary phone call or text!

Please also send a note to the classroom teacher, as this is a legal requirement for schools to obtain.

Mornings in the Bus Bay: Re Reminder

We ask that the following is adhered to when using the bus bay:

Only children are to get out of vehicles. This means these children must be capable of getting out of the

vehicle without assistance from an adult. These children must be able to put on their own coats and

bags and whatever else they may have with them that needs to come to school.

When using the vehicle lane closest to the school, children should get out of the vehicle on the bus bay footpath side.

When using the vehicle lane closest to the road, children should get out of the vehicle on the grass side. These children

should then wait on the grass until they deem it safe to use the Aberdeen Road footpath or wait until they are taken

across the bus bay by the principal (if he is present).

In other words, the bus bay ‘stop, drop and go’ is to be used only by children who are independent enough to be able to

follow these requirements. While the Travelwise programme encourages parents to consider not using their vehicles to

bring children to and from school, if this is not an option for your family and if you have children who would not be able to

meet the requirements as outlined, you are asked to drop your child at a safe location so they can then walk the balance

of the distance to school. This would allow plenty of time for farewells, last minute instructions and the putting on of coats

and bags but not in the bus bay.

Please help us make the bus bay a ‘stop, drop and go’ option for children to get to school. Thank you.

School Fees and Donation

Just a reminder if you are yet to pay for your school fees and donation.

Payment is due this week for Mathletics, reading Eggs and Aquatics programmes. Your child will miss out on being

signed up for these programmes if payment is not received.

To pay these items please go to our online payment portal which can be found on the front page of our school website.

Police Vetting: Urgent & Important!

Only adults who have had a police vet will be able to help with school activities from January 2017 onwards.

As obtaining a police vet takes time, if you are considering being available to help with school activities in any way in

2017 please act now, as follows......

Please go to the school website to ‘Police Vetting for Volunteers at CBS’ under Parent Information and complete the

form and attach photocopies as per the instructions.

Please note a police vet remains current for three years after the date of issue by the police.

DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP AGREEMENTS FOR YEAR 3,4,5 and 6.

If your child is in Year 3,4,5,6 They will be coming home with a Digital Citizenship agreement.

Please take some time to go through this with your child and sign appropriately.

ALL children and parents are required to sign this before they are allowed to go on any school device.

It would be much appreciated that you get these back to your child’s classroom teacher as soon as possible.

They are available on the school website under Digital Citizenship- scroll to bottom of page.

These are available in Chinese also.

Thank you for your support.

Student Success

At the end of 2016 Georgia Fraser-Mackenzie and Hanneke Hectors were deeply focused on their inquiry around change.

Out of choosing fitness levels and littering/respect topics we chose a different topic. It was about kids with learning

challenges. Georgia and Hanneke then decided to have a bake sale and go around their neighbourhood selling christmas

cards as it was just before Christmas and from that we raised over 300 dollars. In 2017 we decided to use the money

raised to support kids with learning challenges here at

Campbells Bay School!! We decided to buy a slope board for

Jada to use in the junior school, we gave four slope boards to

Jada’s class so that other kids get to use them too! Slope

boards are to support posture, writing and reading in the

classroom. Miss Aitken says “Wow, what a great example of

Not Self But Service”.

Here’s a picture of the girls giving Jada and her classmates the

slope boards.
