Reminders

Please can you pack extra clothing and footwear for your child during the Winter months. An extra pair of gumboots is always great, as our tamariki still enjoy water play and playing in the sandpit. Wet bags need to be returned thank you. If your child is sick can you please ring to inform the staff, so they can make note of this in the illness register. Polyhigh operational hours are from 7:45 – 5:45 if you wish to talk to one of the teachers about your child, please ensure you allow enough time either in the morning or the afternoon. Thank you. Can you please remember to pack a named drink bottle for your child, these are to go home daily to be washed and ready for the following day. Please can you support the teaching team by encouraging your child to leave their toys at home. Polyhigh is well resourced and toys can cause conflict amongst peers and undue distress if they are lost or broken.

Working Bee

Thank you to all of the whanau who attended the Polyhigh working Bee which was on the 8th of June. It was great to work alongside you and we achieved some great results.

Reminders

As the weather is still warm can you please provide your child with a named sunhat and drink bottle. We would also like to continue to ask all whanau to sunblock their children before arriving at Polyhigh in the mornings.

Please return any wet bags.

If your child has any soiled clothing, the clothing will be bagged and put in the white bin in the children’s bathroom, this clothing is to be collected on the day of the toileting accident, thank you.

We have also had several cases of headlice in the Tui room, checking your child’s hair regularly is recommended, especially during this time, when headlice seems to be more prevalent. Can you please inform the teaching team if your child has had headlice, thank you.

Can you please check and trim your children’s fingernails, as we have had a few children scratched whilst playing with their peers. Thank you.  

It would also be greatly appreciated if whanau who haven’t filled in a “Who am I” form, could do so and return the completed form to one of the teaching team. The forms are located next to the daily sign in sheet.
