At Arahoe we hold parent-teacher discussions afternoons 4 times a term.  They are usually on Monday and Tuesday afternoon in the middle week and end week of the term.   Each booking lasts for 15 minutes and start at 3.15pm and finish at 5pm.

To book a parent-teacher discussion you need to click on the following website http://www.parentinterviews.co.nz and follow the instructions.  If you have any problems or can't find a right time you need to contact your child's teachers and arrange a time that suits you.  The code is displayed on the front page of the website.

If you have any feedback on this system please email cristalm@arahoe.school.nz.

School App

If you have a smart phone you can now download our very own free Arahoe School App called 'Skoolbag'.  You can download this app to be kept up to date with school calendar events and everything that is happening including events, news, school newsletters and notification alerts direct from the school.

Lost Property

If your child has lost something, please check through the red bucket in our class located by the door. If it is not there please check the box located on the deck in front of the hall. To make it manageable and easier for your child, please put their name on all their items of clothing and personal belongings such as drink bottles and lunch boxes. Please note that all unclaimed items are disposed of at the end of each term.

Sunhats

During Term 4 children must wear their school sunhat when playing outdoors. Even if it is a cloudy day during the term they will still need to wear these. Make sure it is clearly named as these can go missing easily. 

Spare Clothes

Not often but sometimes, especially heading towards the wetter and colder months, children to have accidents at school and need a change of clothes. To save the need of coming to pick your child from school when this happens, we advise you to put a change of clothes into their school bag so we can get them changed. Our school do not provide spare clothing.
