As we have done so in previous years, our school will be accessing supports that allow us to routinely screen students across our school (Irlen/vision, hearing, barriers to learning etc). We are very fortunate to have some Learning Support Coordinators from our Eastern Kahui Ako and members of our wider community coming in to support us with the screening. We are being proactive in the screening of these areas to ensure that no child slips through the cracks, and to help us to get to know our learners and what they need to make good progress this year.
From time to time, your child may need parental consent (e.g. for hearing screens with the DHB we need parental consent), so they may come home with permission forms.
Once screening has occurred, and if any further actions need to be carried out, you will receive communications that come home.
We appreciate our whānau and community working collectively to support our Rotokawa Tamariki.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Ngā mihi,
Christina
