What's on?
Other things to note:
Absences and Late Arrivals
It is important that we know by 9:00am each school day if a student is going to be away or arriving late to school so that we can verify the safe whereabouts of all our students.
All absences must be notified to the school office as teachers don't always have the opportunity to forward emails/messages before class starts at 9am.
Absence/late arrival notifications can be made at any time by:
* Absence form on the school app or website
* Email – office@amesbury.school.nz
* Text – 021 865528
* Telephone – 04 477 3423
Late arrivals: if your child arrives at school after 9am, they must sign in at the office before going to class.
LunchIf your child is regularly bringing yummy food that requires a utensil to eat it, please pack a fork, spoon or chopsticks in their lunchbox, or have one they can rinse after using and keep in a bag or container in their school bag.
