WELCOME BACK TO TERM 2

It was wonderful to welcome back to school so many students this morning and to see them enjoying the beautiful autumn weather and each other. Today we had a 59% student attendance rate onsite and our staff have worked hard to support those learning at home.

·         We continue to ask that parents do not go into classrooms in the mornings/afternoons and simply drop students and leave / collect students at the end of the day and head home.
·         Another thing families can do to support not only the safety of our school, but also of the wider community and themselves is to download the CovidSafe app onto your phone if you feel comfortable doing so.
·         As per the email sent home last Friday 24/4 (you will see a copy forwarded again to you in your emails) most year levels are following ‘Step 2’ which is:
“when ~60% of a year level are back onsite, one teacher and a LSO teaches them in a face to face mode and the other teacher supports those doing the  on-line stuff - coms, feedback, questions, check ins etc.
·         However as numbers of students on site increase year levels will move into ‘Step 3’ which is:
“when ~80% of a year level are back on site, both teachers take their own classes and the kids off site are fed through the engagements that the kids on-site are doing.

ROLLMARKING
·         Students will be marked P - Onsite Present, R-  Remote Learning present, M - absent medical, B -absent Family. 
·         Teachers will review the absent lists at the end of the day and mark those who have actioned the Remote Learning via Seesaw. 
·         If your child is absent due to sickness or family reasons please let the school know (as per normal procedures) by emailing the teacher / office / or phoning the schools absentee line (85225740 Option #2).

iGOSH
·         Is operating and open for Before School Care 7am to 8.30am and After School Care 3.25pm to 6.00pm. 
·         Please book online via www.carebookings.com.au.   If you need to amend any current bookings for this week please contact katrinap@ilsg.sa.edu.au
·         Lost Property items from Vac Care:  there are jumpers, lunch boxes, drink bottles – please come and collect.
·         Scrap Books -  staff regularly complete observations on all children who attend iGOSH.  These observations are glued into their “iGOSH Scrap Books”.  We would love to share these with you so you can see what your child has been doing in iGOSH.  Your support and time in looking at and commenting on these is appreciated.  

LEARNING AT HOME SUPPORT
·         If you need to re-enter the SEESAW code / QR code, please use the code sent to you via the email on Friday 20 March. 
If you cannot access this please contact your class teacher, the office or richiec@ilsg.sa.edu.au

SUBWAY LUNCHES
·         We will continue to offer the Subway Lunch on Fridays.  Orders in by Wednesday. 

UNIFORM
·         Term 2 is Winter formal uniform style (grey trousers and long sleeve shirt for boys / white blouse and pinafore or skirt for girls), along with sport uniform (summer/winter) on designated days. 
However for the next 2 weeks students can wear summer (if the weather is warm).   
·         To purchase new uniform – the shop is open Monday mornings and Friday afternoons.   Alternatively if you know what items you need you can contact the office staff and order and pay over the phone and we will send home via your child.

Graduation is a week and a half away, so I pose this question to you… what type of graduation parent do you think you’ll be this year? Are you: A) a box of tissues type B) a yell out a comment type C) a ‘oh where did the time go’ type  D) a can’t believe they got this far type E) a you can’t have too many photos type F) all the above G) none of the above H) we will wait and see iPads iPads are being collected for decommissioning this Thursday, please make sure that they are fully charged on arrival at school that day and all wanted files have been backed up elsewhere. Uniform next week Students will be able to wear their sports uniforms on Tuesday and Wednesday next week in order to keep their formal uniforms in top condition for the Thursday night Graduation Evening. Library books and scissors A strange pairing, but what do these two things have in common? When people graduate, both items can sometimes disappear, never to be seen again. Can you please check school bags, around the hou

Here we are, a couple days left. It would be interesting to know how all the students are feeling. I do know that some can’t wait to move on and some don’t want to leave. As always, many are probably feeling a little bit from column A and column B.  Reports Reports to go out tomorrow.  Pizza Lunch Tomorrow Tomorrow, as a gift to the students, Tayla and I have organised a pizza lunch for students. We hope they enjoy! Graduation Evening Please see your invite for the details of time. The evening will commence with the graduation ceremony and will lead into an evening of enjoying each other’s company one last time as a group.  So that things run smoothly, we ask that you arrive on time. Uniform The next two school days we are wearing sport uniform so that our formal uniforms are clean and tidy for the graduation ceremony and evening. In terms of formal uniform for the graduation ceremony, if you find that your child has out grown or needs a part of the uniform, let us know and we will o

Creeping closer and closer to the end of the year, but the work doesn’t stop…  Academics   The big ticket item in class right now is responding to the Ted Hughes novel The Iron Man. The Playberry literacy routines will continue through to the end of the year and in maths we are currently playing around with algebra and problem solving.  End of Year Guff As a part of the student graduation, we are after a photo of each child from when they commenced school (Foundation). If your child commenced at a different school, we would love it if you could email us a digital copy so we can add it to the presentation.  For the graduation evening, it is expected that students are wearing formal summer uniform. That includes socks 😁 Signing gear - we understand that kiddies (and adults) love this and that’s ok. History tells us that it also becomes a great distraction and sometime comments aren’t always written with kindness in mind. We will be talking to students about this but we will also only ac
