Team Reminders by Carolyn Crow
Kauri Teachers — January 31, 2023
Some useful information
Book Bag - Your child will need to bring their book bag to school EVERY day to keep reading books, library books and their poem book safe.
Naming of clothing - please make sure all of your child’s clothing is named, especially their hat, jumper/sweatshirt. This is best done immediately after buying it.
Water bottle - Please make sure your child has a named water bottle at school. We request filling this with water rather than juice as we promote healthy eating and drinking at school. Juice also encourages ants.
Lunchbox - please ensure your child can open and close any containers in their lunchbox. You may want to snip the end of bananas and packet food for ease.
School bag - Please ensure your child has a school bag big enough to house their book bag, hat, lunchbox, water bottle, jumper, and possibly a rain jacket in winter.
Independence - In Year 1, our aim is to encourage independence. Please help us by allowing your child to carry, pack and unpack their own school bag.
End of the Day
In Years 0/1 we ask that you or an older sibling picks up your child directly from the classroom. Due to noise level and distractions, we ask that you wait for your child in the area just off the deck, unless it's raining.
Parent Help
If you have some spare time and are keen to help out at school, we welcome your support, however small! Please let your child’s teacher know if you are available.
