Level 1 - Tuesday 9th June

Evening All,

As we enter Level 1 tomorrow we would like to remind you that children are only to enter the classroom from 8.30am onwards. Please don't arrive before this time.

Thank you,

Kirsty and Tracy

Mike's message below (email sent out today from Mike):

The self-discipline and huge sacrifice has paid off. At midnight tonight we enter Level One. Thanks for making Team Waimairi an effective part of the wider 'team of five million'.

A very important lesson in citizenship has played out in front of our children's eyes.

The ramifications for so many of our whānau will continue for a long time. Tautoko.

What does this mean for school tomorrow?

-We switch to using the NZ COVID Tracer app for checking in.

All parents, staff and other visitors need to use the app each time you arrive at school. It is a very simple process, no need to type in any details, just scan and you are done. Download and set up the app tonight.

-You are all welcome inside our buildings, after 8:30am each morning. In bad weather any early arrivers can shelter under the hall verandah.

-Volunteer helpers are warmly welcomed back.

-Buy coffee, buy coffee, buy coffee - the coffee shop is the PTA's only current fundraising scheme operating. We desperately need funds coming in. The lockdown etc. has decimated the annual fundraising budget. Buy coffee.

-As we unite to recover from the effects of COVID-19, it's still important that we keep the basic hygiene measures, including washing your hands and coughing or sneezing into your elbow. Go back over the 'singing happy birthday twice' method with your kids tonight.

-Have fun. Enjoy lingering and catching up with your friends and neighbours at school. This is a part of the 'Waimairi Vibe' that has really been missed.

Given the suddenness of the move to Level One, we will give out information about things like Monday Meetup, Sport, Hot Dogs, and other aspects of school life over the next few days - as details come to light and plans are made.

Rock On! Waimairi - we are beating this virus.
