Dear Parents, Carers and Community Members

Welcome to Week 9 Term 2

The NSW Department of Education have released revised guidelines in relation to schools in dealing with the COVID-19 Pandemic which come in effect on Monday, 15th June.

Last week we emailed all parents and carers a copy of these guidelines, but you can also check them out below.

PICK UP AND DROP OFF:

Our drop off times remain the same. We encourage anyone picking up a child from school to collect them between 3.10pm and 3.25pm at the two usual collections points.

Parents are requested to remain outside the school grounds and not congregate in groups while waiting for children. Please observe social distancing protocols.

Learning at Home Feedback and Reflection

Please take a few minutes to respond to the questions in the survey below. The survey has been developed to ensure LPS staff understand the view of our community. We recognise that it has been a challenging time and this survey is one way we are seeking to understand how the Learning at Home Program experience was for you, as parents and carers.

We are aware that many of you have children in different year levels and your experiences may be different for each child. As a result, the survey below is designed to be completed for ONE child only, but should only take a few minutes. At the end of the survey there is space to elaborate on any of your answers or provide extra information, if you would like to.

If you have multiple children, we request that you complete a survey for each child. Thanks for taking the time to complete it.

Semester 1 Reports

This semester, we will still be writing and sending home student reports, but due to the disrupted semester they will be a bit different than usual. Students will not receive any grades for achievement; rather there will be comments only, and due to disrupted teaching and learning programs the reports will be modified to reflect this. We are aiming to send them home in Week 10 (Wednesday) prior to the holidays, and schedule follow-up parent-teacher interviews early in Term 3 for anyone requesting one. Interviews are likely to be held remotely – more information to follow.

As always, I would like to reiterate to all parents that if you have a concern or query regarding your child's education please make an appointment to see the relevant classroom teacher or appropriate Executive Member to further discuss the matter. Parents are asked to address any emails to our school email address. These emails will then be forwarded to the appropriate teacher. It is important that concerns be initially addressed with classroom teachers as often issues can be addressed quickly.

Rachel Thomason Relieving Principal

Congratulations to these students for their weekly class merit awards.
