Stationery

Stationery lists are available from the school office.  At the start of a new school year each student will be given a stationery list on the first day of term and we ask that parents/caregivers arrange stationery requirements by the start of week 2.  A ‘stationery pack’ for each class is also available from a local supplier (currently 'Paper Plus' in Te Awamutu).

School Donations

$90.00 per student for 2012.

Bus Routes

As Ohaupo School is a rural school, some children require bus transport to get to school. There is currently one bus run running from the school as well as two commercial runs. For more details contact the school. The school must be informed in writing or verbally whenever alternative transport arrangements are made.

Parent Reading Tutors

Extra reading tuition is offered by parents and students which has helped staff reach literacy targets.

Newsletters

There is a weekly newsletter published and sent home with the youngest or only child every Wednesday.  The newsletter is available on the school website.

Reporting to Parents

Parents are invited to parent interviews twice a year and arrangements can be made to see teachers at any time.  A learning summary will go home in terms two and four. There will be open day morning and afternoon sessions where parents will be invited in to see how their child is progressing.

Absences

Parents are expected to inform the school if their child is going to be away, either with a note to the teacher or a phone call to the school.

Parent Help

Ohaupo has an open door policy and encourages parents to visit and come to the child's classroom.
