Should my child bring home a new levels reader each day?
Not necessarily. This depends on whether the student has read the book that
she / he had taken out previously. The idea is to ensure that the student
has
completed reading a book, before borrowing a new one.
How does a student keep a record of levels readers that they borrow? Each student has a little notebook in which they record the date and the
name
of the levels reader that they have taken. This book is meant to be signed
by
the parent / guardian each day as proof that they have listened to their
child read.
What essential 'tools' does a student need on a daily basis?
A full set of writing instruments (blue pen, red pen, a full-sized ruler, an
eraser); a drink bottle; a school bag with the necessary contents (book
bag,etc.)
What should a student do if she/he has been absent, and is returning? A written letter / note of explanation regarding the child's absence if
required. The letter is to be written and signed by the parent / guardian.
Can I contact the teacher with regards to my child's performance?
YES. It is always good to have a parent set up an appointment with the
teacher, via the office. This can be done by telephoning 09 - 405 9608. A
suitable time will be set. Teachers are not always available to discuss
matters at length during their teaching time. An afternoon
appointment after 2:45 will be most likely... but this can be negotiated.
Can I visit my child's class, to support my child's learning? Most certainly. This is something we encourage at Pakaraka School.
Can I keep in contact with the teacher, other than by appointment? Yes. Telephonically (preferably after teaching time...usually after 2:30);
or by e-mail. The e-mail link is provided on this site.
