Moving to alert level 3

Kia ora koutou, Talofa lava, Greetings all 

Here is the letter sent out by the MOE to schools: 

There have been 3 confirmed cases of COVID -19 in South Auckland. As a result, the government announced at 7 p.m. that the whole of Auckland will move from Alert Level 1to Alert Level 3 for the next 72 hours from midnight tonight. 

This means that where possible you should keep your children home from school for this period. We will be open for those of you with no other options but to send your children to school and we will have safety precautions in place to look after them. 

Although this is for a short period, at this time we are activating our distance learning plan tomorrow morning, as we did when we have been in previous lockdowns. 

First and foremost we want to stay connected to you and your tamariki. COVID -19 continues to be a factor we need to consider, and I assure you we have a robust plan and will do everything we need to for your children and for your wider family and whanau. 

If the situation changes, we will be in touch again. Please contact us if you have any concerns or questions.
