Children's Immunisation Status - URGENT9th September 2019
Dear Parent/Caregiver Salford School has been advised that since 22nd August, five people have been confirmed with measles in the Southern region, and this number has further increased. The disease is now likely to be spreading in the wider community. The number of cases may seem relatively small in comparison with the population, but one person with measles can infect many others. PHS advises that immunisation is the best protection against measles. Immunisation is safe, effective and free. Measles is serious and highly infectious viral disease that causes fever, cough, sore red eyes and a rash. It can make people very sick. People with measles can be infectious even before they start feeling unwell. While almost all people will make a complete recovery, it can lead to hospitalisation and in rare cases, death. Parents/guardians need to find out whether their children are protected against measles. Regarding your child’s immunisation status:
Signs of measles It usually takes 10 to 14 days for someone who has caught measles to start showing symptoms. If your child develops a high fever, runny nose, cough, sore red eyes, or a rash see a doctor (call ahead to alert your doctor about the possibility of measles before visiting and take this letter along). If your child has a weakened immune system (e.g. if they have an inherited immune problem or are receiving chemotherapy for cancer), please contact your doctor to discuss further. If this occurs: Call your GP or Healthline (0800 611 116) as soon as possible for advice. Your GP will advise the safest time for your child to return to school. If your GP suspects measles, they will arrange for testing and Public Health South will be in contact to offer support and any follow up regarding contact tracing. For more information about measles, contact Healthline on 0800 611 116 or visit https://www.health.govt.nz/your-health/conditions-and-treatments/diseases-and-illnesses/measles Please complete the form on SchoolStream and arrange to have a copy of your child’s immunisation record to us by Friday September 13th. Regards Sarah Gibbs Principal Newsletter - 27th August

ANAPHYLAXIS AWARENESS AND SAFETY You will all be aware of the extreme reactions that bee stings, nuts and other food or plant allergies can bring to children. At Salford School we have staff and students with varying allergies and body responses to these allergens. Some that can be treated easily with antihistamine or creams and others that are more severe requiring epi-pens and immediate medical treatment. The intensity of exposure and resulting reactions vary just as much as the treatment. We currently have a student who is a level 6 reactor. This is the highest level there is on this scale. This means that should they come into contact with nuts at all (even if someone else has had a peanut butter sandwich and touched a door handle and then the child touches the door handle some time afterward) their body will react violently and quickly leaving the smallest amount of time for help to be obtained and administered. In order to support this child (and others who also react but not so strongly) in being able to attend school safely, Salford School will be a nut free school. We please ask that you support this by ensuring children do not bring nuts, nut products or food items containing nuts to school at any time. Just the residue of nut traces on someone’s hands is enough to cause a rapid, violent reaction. Thank you for helping us keep all of the children at Salford School safe. Sincerely Sarah Gibbs Principal Salford School 
BYOD Options for 2019 - Students in Rooms 4 - 6Dear Parents and Caregivers,
You have all expressed an interest in purchasing a BYOD Option for a student for 2019. Salford have looked carefully at how to get the best options for families, i.e. Bulk purchase vs Individual purchase. The risk with the bulk purchase through the school was the warranty and repair, and there was very little difference in the actual end cost for families. Therefore, in the attachment are two options for you to consider. 1 - purchasing through Officemax, only the items you require. i.e. you may already have headphones that your child can use, and a bag for the device. 2 - purchasing through Noel Leeming who offer very competitive prices, and these can be purchased on a 12 month payment basis. Remember that Noel Leeming will price match. There are a number of online suppliers and if you find the latest technology model i.e. the HP Chrome G6 touch Chromebook at an alternate supplier for less than the $469.00 they are quoting, print your find and take the copy down to the store for the price match option. Any questions, please do not hesitate to email through. This email address is being monitored. Have a lovely christmas and safe holiday break. kind regards Judi Devine Office Manager Salford School Telephone: 032179521

Dear Parents and Caregivers, Subject: Students Devices for 2019 IT devices have become a significant part of our programmes in the Senior Syndicate. In today’s world we have to teach our students to research online and present information and to code, as part of the Digital Technologies Curriculum. We would like to use online programmes for our homework programmes as well. Therefore to ensure that the students get the most value out of our learning time it is strongly encouraged that our Year 4-6 students own their own devices and bring them to school on a daily basis. These devices will continue to be a significant part of your child’s schooling once they go off to high school. If you are considering purchasing a device as a Christmas present can we please suggest that you purchase one with the following specifications: Chrome book minimum screen size of 11 inches Running iOS11.0+, or Android 6.0+ Battery life of 5 - 6 hours Wireless Capability Minimum storage of 32GB Google Chrome installed Protective case is strongly recommended Keyboard Can be updated to the latest operating system Headphones Optional: Wireless Mouse If students already have their own laptop or other device you may think is suitable then please contact the classroom teacher to discuss if this will be appropriate. Unfortunately ipad’s and tablets would not be appropriate for our purposes. Thank you for your continued support. Yours truly, Megan Roulston Senior Team Leader, Head of Literacy, Head of Inquiry Learning and EOTC Co-ordinator Attached is some information relating to BYOD and if you would be interested in being considered as part of a bundle purchase, please fill in the form below. 
Early ArrivalsDear Parents and Caregivers,
Children are not expected to be at school before 8:30 am. We have a number of children arriving earlier than this just for the social or play aspects. We would appreciate the support of our parents and caregivers in ensuring that children don’t arrive too early at school. Children who arrive earlier than 8:30 are asked to wait outside the classrooms until the 8:30 bell. Robin Harris Principal Pre loved UniformDear Parents and Caregivers,
The stocks of "pre loved" uniform is very low, and we wonder if there are any uniforms items that are no longer used in the bottoms of draws. We have a young lady joining us next week, who will be in year 6 and therefore only with us for 10 short weeks. Thanking you. Student Council Market Day - 6 June - World
WANTED - for "inside days"Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Do you have any: LEGO Puzzles Board Games Wooden blocks your children are no longer using. Donations to school would be greatly appreciated to amuse out students on these wet cold days. UNWELL CHILDRENDear Parents and Caregivers,
Please keep unwell students at home. We have had to send a number of students home today unwell, some of whom presented symptons on arrival at school. We have a tummy bug moving through the classrooms. Stand down period for a child presenting with vomiting/diarrhea is 24/48 hours - dependent on last episode. If children are not kept home, the risk of the illness passing to other children in a school environment is high. Thanking you for your consideration. Thank you to the PYE FOUNDATIONStudents from all over the school, creating thank you cards to send to the Pye Foundation for there generous donation of 211 reading books.
Who are the PYE FOUNDATION? The Pye Foundation is supporting New Zealand Schools, teachers and students with free access to Sunshine Classics, a digital literacy program featuring 310 all-time favourite Sunshine titles. The program can be accessed through an app on the iPad and Samsung Android and through a browser on computers, interactive whiteboards and Apple TVs. The texts cover levels 1-30 with captivating fiction from world-renowned authors such as Margaret Mahy and Joy Cowley as well as a great selection of non-fiction and plenty of interactive activities. NZ Playhouse - Red Riding Robyn Hood was enjoyed by students at Salford on Thursday 15th March.
"King George has lost the plot! In his never-ending quest to build bigger palaces, giant walls and enormous statues of himself he has raised the Land Far Far Away tax rate to 101%! Jack and Jill can’t afford to get a pail of water, Little-Bo-Peep has to sell her sheep, and even the Princess is so hungry she ate the pea. When even the bravest of Knights are too scared to stand up to him, the Land Far Far Away cries out for a hero to put a stop to the madness of the King. Luckily their cries are heard by a mysterious red hooded figure with a bow and arrow, a basket of goodies and some very unlikely ‘Big Bad’ backup." Newsletter - 12th March 2018

It’s the crime of the century that’s too much to bear. Bear-boy-band singing sensation Baby Bear has been kidnapped! When a ransom note is discovered asking for an unlimited supply of ‘Just Right Porridge’ all hands and paws point straight at Goldilocks.
Facing a life sentence of uncomfortable beds, chairs and cold porridge she turns to the only cool-cat capable of cracking the case, the mysterious super-sleuth in boots known to all as the ‘Pet Detective’. Goldilocks discovers that sometimes when everything seems too hard, all you need is a friendly feline and a whole lot of perseverance to make it all just purrrrrrrrrfect.
