Welcome to Stafford 4 2012

A copy of our first class newsletter for you to enjoy

 
Welcome back everyone. I hope you had a great holiday break.
I’m Rachel Hitchens. I have been at Rotorua Intermediate for 6 years.
 I can be contacted through my email,
rachelh@rotorua-intermediate.org.nz or the office phone 3489888. Please feel free to come into class at any time, however if you wish to discuss anything with me please make a time with me that is outside teaching hours. Thank you

We have a very busy and exciting term coming up with a variety of learning experiences and activities in and outside the class room.
 We will be starting our learning programme in week one which means it is very important that our Stafford 4 students have their stationary in the first week. Please contact me if there is an issue getting stationary. My expectation for students is that they take pride in their work and books and they keep them as clean and tidy as possible. 
We have a class blog and students will be contributing samples of their work, sharing ideas, showing photographic mementos of their learning and inviting comment from parents and whanau. The address for the site will come home in the first week. If internet connection is not available at home family are welcome to come into class before or after school to view our blog.
A letter with our daily timetable and what’s coming up over the term for Stafford 4 will come home this week.
The expectation of the school is that all students will arrive at school in the correct uniform every day. We have a visual poster of correct uniform for students in the class and office, a description is also in the prospectus. Please make sure your child’s uniform is clearly named as it is difficult to determine who uniform belongs to when it is not named. Thank you.
Students are also expected to bring the correct PE uniform every day for PE, fitness and student engagement. If a student chooses to wear incorrect uniform to school they will be asked to remove it until they get home, if there is a second occurrence the item will be collected and kept for parents/caregivers to collect. I appreciate your support with this.
Effective and productive learning is a partnership between students, whanau, and the school I will contact all parents/caregivers by phone, letter, or email a least twice a term to touch base.
In the first week forms will come home with your child for camp. Even though the school already has contact information it is important these details are completed  and returned as soon as possible as we take these forms to camp with us.
