Kia ora all,
As you know by now, there are a rising number of people returning positive Covid-19 test results across NZ and in all schools in Rotorua. We anticipate that there will be more in the coming days.
Some anxiety around this is understandable and I would like to reassure you that we are doing everything at Rotorua SDA School that we can to mitigate the risks to provide a safe environment for your children to learn in. Parents will be notified if there is a confirmed case in the class when/if it happens.
-We have 2 known positive student cases who are isolating at home.
- We have 9 household contacts of a positive case who are isolating at home. Many thanks to the parents who are keeping us informed about this. Please continue to do so.
Please notify us if you are choosing to keep your children at home so that we can record them appropriately on the attendance system and so that we can check in with you if need be.
It is the Ministry of Education’s expectation that students who do not have Covid are to be at school. (Children must still come to school if they are well.)
We are as usual doing our utmost best to keep our students and teachers safe while at school but we need your help too...
- Please do not send your child to school if they have any symptoms.
- Masks and the correct wearing of them by all Year 4 - 6 teachers and students are mandatory and teachers (and students) in Y1-3 are also encouraged to do so. Masks do not need to be worn whilst outside.
- All staff and parents are reminded regularly to follow the public health guidelines.
- Cleaning procedures are in place.
-Ventilation procedures are in place
-Regularly getting outside, as preferable once every hour.
Hybrid Learning
Students who are confirmed cases and their household contacts will have access to online activities. Teachers will communicate this to you and please email them if you are unsure about where to access this.
Once again, if you have any concerns about sending your child to school, please do get in touch. We are here to help.
Once your child has completed 10 days isolation there is no requirement from the school to view any test results. All students are welcome back to school after the 10 day isolation period and we look forward to having them back onsite with us.
Kind regards
Whaea Lanea Strickland
