Thank you to all of our whanau that are keeping students home when they are sick.  We have Infuenza A in the school and have had RSV over the last couple of weeks.  This has meant our daily numbers are low, however, childrens health is more important.  Our Student Management System, in accordance with the Ministry of Education rules, will automatically email you if your student has had more than 5 days off in a term.  If you have kept in contact with the school about your child's absence, then I can record that this is due to sickness, so please don't panic over these emails, however, I can only do this if whanau have kept in communication with us.  Please let us know when your child is away and the reason.

Thank you.

Please put in your calanders that Friday 21st August is a Teacher Only Day.  This is for all schools in the district as teachers are doing Maths Professional Development with the Ministry.  Our apologies, we missed this in our newsletter.

Due to snow fall, the school bus will be leaving at 2.30pm today. Parents are welcome to come and collect their children earlier if possible.

As the snow is getting quite persistent now at Norsewood, we are calling the school bus earlier and asking parents to come and collect their children asap.
