Welcome to the High Flyers team. This year we have four classes in our pod and new teachers to Bluestone - Jacqui Emerson Rm 17, Axel Jenkins Rm 18, Kelly Phillips Rm 19 whom we welcome warmly. Rebecca Hamilton remains in Room 20 and is the Team Leader.

Uniforms/Sunhats

It is an expectation that all students wear the Bluestone uniform and we ask that it is clearly named. This term sun hats are compulsory. They can be purchased from the school office for $7.00.

Online Notices/ School Website/ Facebook Page

Please ensure you read our online notices. These are published fortnightly and we frequently post relevant and up to date information on these. www.bluestone.school.nz/ and also check our Bluestone School Facebook page as well.

Homework

In the first couple of weeks students are tested to distinguish their spelling level therefore their classroom teacher may send them home with a task about 'getting to know’ them. Then a weekly homework sheet will be going home with spelling, math and reading content from week 3. If you require further information please see Rebecca Hamilton.

Seesaw - online profiles and communication

This year we are promoting this online profile and communication platform for ALL our students. A letter will be sent home in the first few days of school for you to join your child's profile.

Our Assemblies will be fortnightly this year for Year 5/6. They will begin at 1.20pm and dates will be posted to our school facebook page.
