Dear parents/caregivers,
As you will be aware there are some community cases of Covid-19 in New Zealand. The following attachment is a guideline on level 1 to 4 for schools from the Ministry of Education website. It is a useful summary of how the school will respond within each alert level. The Ministry of Education/Health may modify these at anytime and pass this information on to schools.

GUIDELINES from Ministry of Education/Health
6. Sick people must stay at home.
They should seek medical advice if they have COVID-like symptoms and get tested if advised to do so. If that person displays relevant symptoms of COVID-19, tests positive for COVID-19, or has been in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19, they must self-isolate.

If children are presenting as sick within class the teachers will fill in the following form to send your child to the sickbay to be collected.
Kind regards
