PRINCIPAL’S

Dear families and friends of our school
Mathletics, Mathseeds & Reading Eggs & Reading Express: I do encourage you all to sign your child up for these web-based programs at $26 for a whole years access. It really does make homework exciting and helps reinforce what is being taught in class.
Student absences
A reminder that if your child is away from school can you please ring the office and leave a message and the reason why your child is away. Your co-operation is most appreciated.
BOT Elections: This year we will be having our Board of Trustee Elections (BOT). We are looking for nominations for parents who would like to become a Board member. Being part of the BOT can be very rewarding and you learn a lot in regards to how a school runs.
The only qualification you need is to want the very best for your child/children and our school in general. The BOT meets twice a term on a Tuesday from 6.15pm to 8pm.
If you are interested in becoming a Board of Trustees member, then I encourage you to put your name forward. We will be calling for nominations in July, so please keep an eye out. If you want more information, then I’d be happy to have a chat with you or you could email me at principal@paraparaumu.school.nz
Nga mihi nui ki a koutou - warm regards to you all.

You always put your best effort into your work, follow instructions and make sure it is completed. You play your part in the classroom by helping to keep it tidy and you carry out tasks that are asked of you. You are respectful to all of your classmates and teachers. You are kind, play fairly and treat others how you would like to be treated. Keep up the super fantastic work Ollie
