SCHOOL IS CLOSED

COVID-19 LEVEL 3 LOCKDOWN

To our Holy Cross whanau,

Auckland moves to Alert Level 3 on Tuesday 21st September at 11:59pm for 2 weeks. This will be reviewed on Monday 4th October.

As outlined last week, schools remain essentially closed. Our teachers will continue to provide online learning for all of our children and this is what all children will be completing.

Our school will be open for only those children who have no one to look after them, as their parents/caregivers have to leave their home to go to work. If your child must come to school they need to be dropped off at 8:45am and picked up at 2:45pm.

For your child to attend school this form must be completed - Alert Level 3 Attendance. Please refer to last weeks letter regarding further information about the health and safety protocols our school will be abiding by to ensure everyone is safe at this time.

Our Faith is important to us, and we encourage you to turn to this during these time.

Every day our teachers are sending prayer to their students which includes bible scripture, prayers, songs/videos and ways of showing our faith in action. We hope you and your whanau join together and take part in the activities and prayer.

Please continue to check our Skool Loop App, our website, your classroom See-saw and your emails for further updates.

We need to approach Alert Level 3 as advised by our Prime Minister. Please remain vigilant, keep your bubbles tight, wear your masks, scan in at places and continue to keep an eye on the places of interest.

Stay home, Be safe and Be kind.

God Bless
