Kia ora everyone. Hope you are doing ok. Teachers are working flat out still juggling their Distance Learning plans and their families. I'm very proud of the work they are doing when they should be relaxing a little bit.
A quick update to let you know how we're going with Term 2 learning.
Teachers have been calling and texting parents to get up-to-date email addresses. Once we have them, we can invite you to Zoom learning sessions at the start of Term 2. We can also start communicating with more of you via HERO.
A few parents have told us that HERO is still showing blank screens for them. The only advice we've had is to uninstall the app and then reinstall it. There was something happening with a Microsoft update that has affected some peoples' versions. Can you try to do that and let us know if it changes what you see on the app? We are not the only new school experiencing those problems but we are hopeful they will be sorted out soon.
We have student emails in place for every student at Clayton Park School. We will find a way to share those email addresses with you either via text or email. We need your contacts to be accurate though. We'll also send you the password so your child can access their emails. If we use their email, we can send the Zoom invite to them too.
We know that not everyone has a suitable device at home that kids can learn on. Infact, many of you have a phone and you need it and can't have the kids on it. We also know that you currently have limits on how much wifi you can access and the Government is working on solving this problem. They'll be asking for your addresses soon so the internet companies know which people to remove the caps from. Let us know if you've moved or if you want to check we have the right address for you. More info will follow as they might figure out an easier way to do this.
For those who will be 'unplugged' when Term 2 starts, teachers are putting together a menu of mini-projects for juniors, middles and seniors. We will post the menu on this Facebook page and email it to you too. We're not sure how you will get this information other than these two ways.
The mini-projects will follow our theme for Term 2: Change can be challenging and exciting. The areas we are focusing on are: Science, Social Sciences, Arts, Technology. So the projects will reflect these areas too.
Online lessons will happen in a morning slot and after lunch. They will be longer for older students and we will keep a roll to show who turned up to the lessons on Zoom. This helps us remember who got the input and who didn't, once we return to regular classes.
We will be posting up our Distance Learning Plan next week so you can see what guidelines we have in place for everyone and what teachers are expecting to deliver. We hope this information answers alot of your questions.
If you have any worries or questions, just message this Facebook page and we'll get back to you within 24 hours. Sometimes your questions help us make changes.
Look after yourselves. We hope to see you very soon. ... See MoreSee Less

Kia Ora, For those asking about Zoom, below are the two websites you need to be aware of.
In Term 2 you will receive an email (to the email we have on the system.) This email will be an invitation to the Zoom meeting for your child with their class and teacher.
So get your app downloaded or have a look at the web browser version over the holidays to prepare for Term 2. Keep safe and well. ... See MoreSee Less

Kia ora everyone. Wow the weekend has arrived, yet it feels like just another day right now.
Parents, we are tagging you for the next two weeks - you are 'it' over the school break. If you're wondering how you will survive with the kids, remember, you love them, and we still have those two posts up for 'real life' learning and digital learning. Maybe you can add in the comments some other ideas that parents can use. Or maybe this is the time you can relax, enjoy the kids and concentrate on family time.
Teachers are having the weekend off to have family time themselves. Some of you were lucky to be caught up in our Zoom lesson trials. We think this is the platform we will use in Term 2 so it will be helpful if you install this before then. Thanks to those parents who allowed us to use your kids for the experiment. It's given us some good feedback.
On Monday, I will be sharing an extremely large set of expectations and guidelines with our teachers (they are thrilled!) so they know which platform/s they are permitted to use and how much learning they will be expected to deliver each day. It is super important that all our parents have shared an email address so we can connect your children to learning during Term 2 online lessons. We have heard from quite a few parents with their email addresses - thank you! We have about 80 parents still to go and teachers have been calling trying to get your email.
It is important to know that we are keeping inline with what the Ministry have asked of us and meeting their expectations. Please do not compare us to other schools. We are all different, as are our families who may not have the capacity to connect to wifi, or even own a device for that matter. We have spent all week trying to find ways to help those families. If you are set up, that is fantastic, we will see you in two weeks.
We are not going to send home packs of work. We won't be emailing worksheets home either. If you have an email address, then we want to see your child online and in lessons with us. If this is not possible then we will continue to post amazing websites that your child can engage with when they have device access.
We are unable to email parents individually for every message we need to send out, although we will use HERO as much as possible, alongside this Facebook page. We can't send a bulk email out for privacy reasons.
Your support and kindness is appreciated at this time. We are all in this together and we must be safe and well so that we can get back to school as quickly as possible. ... See MoreSee Less
