Kia ora whānau,
We are looking forward to welcoming more students back onsite next week.
Teachers have been trying to make contact with parents since yesterday to find out which students will be returning to the class. If you haven't heard from them, please email your child's class teacher or ring the school as soon as possible to let us know what your child will be doing.
I know some parents must be wondering why Greenmeadows Intermediate is opening full time for everyone. The government expected schools to make the decision about how they are able to open while meeting the restrictions of Alert 3.2. Below are the measures that factored into our decision to open full time.
Last night the Board of Trustees approved our very detailed Health and Safety plan and are very supportive of us reopening full time for everyone as they know that many parents are needing this to happen.
Please whānau, do feel free to email me or ring the school to talk to me if you want to discuss any concerns you might have about your child returning to school.
Below is a message about the requirement for schools to maintain a register of student vaccination status. Please do read it! On Thursday I will be sending out a flyer showing all the safety "rules" and routines we will have in place.

Parents will be aware that students who are aged 12 years and older are able to receive the Pfizer vaccination. Schools are also now required to keep a record of each students vaccination status if they are 12 years or older. This is because it will help us know how to respond should there be a confirmed case reported to the school.
I am now asking parents to send me information regarding their child's vaccination status if they are 12 years or older. This includes if they are NOT vaccinated.
The information the schools is required to keep for every student is whether they are:
If we do not receive this information then the following is recorded:
Please email this information (along with a copy of their proof of vaccination if applicable) to vaccine@greenmeadows.school.nz. The reasons we are getting you to email the information to this address is so that the email doesn't get lost in amongst the plethora of other emails that tend to fill our inboxes here at school. This one is just for vaccine information.
Please be assured that we will not share this personal information unless we are required or authorised to do so by law.
I really do appreciate parents helping me to get this student register sorted - it is a requirement for the school and I am hoping we will be able to get it sorted quickly. Thanks in advance!!
