COMMUNITY SURVEY - Uniform survey Dear Parents and Caregivers, There has been ongoing interest from parents/caregivers about replacing the light blue polo shirt, because of the difficulties with cleaning stains off the polo shirt fabric. The Board of Trustees has decided to survey parents on this issue. Please complete the attached survey form (one form per family) and return by Friday, 8 March. The Board requires at least 66% support for changing the colour in order to go ahead. Please note that should the survey result in a change of colour, it won’t happen overnight; there will need to be a lead-in time with uniform suppliers and a reasonable transition phase where children will be allowed to wear the light blue top if the survey results in a change in colour of the Salford School Tee.

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.

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.

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,

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’.
