If you are looking for more, we can direct you back to the following websites.

1. Our Covid19 page - https://kaikorai.school.nz/curriculum/online-learning-during-covid-19/
2. Home learning TV - https://www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/home-learning-tv
3. Ministry of Education Home Learning page https://learningfromhome.govt.nz/
   

At this stage, we don't have the capability to issue Chromebooks due to the lockdown.  However, if the decision is to move to Level 3 on Friday.  We will be able to issue Chromebooks on Sunday.  Once again for our planning purposes, we need some important information in case we move to Level 3 next week.

Firstly we need to if you are an ESSENTIAL WORKER and would need to send your child to school during level 3.

You can come for parts of the week (eg just a Thursday) because your work allows you to look after your children from home for part of the week.  But you cannot send your child along if you haven't indicated in this survey that they will be coming.  Do not click "Yes" to both questions.  If you need only a few days covered please click yes to returning to school and make contact with your class teacher.

Please make sure you complete one for each child using the correct class link.
