Important Information This Week
PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS
Our parent teacher interviews will be able to be booked through PAM. All families have an account set up with their primary email address that they sent the school on enrolment. The password for these accounts is simply "password" and needs to be changed immediately after logging in for security reasons. If you are experiencing difficulties please contact the school office.
This is the first time St Ita's has used this Parent Teacher Interview Booking System, below is a user guide for parents to assist with this process.
Parent Teacher Interviews are an important time where parents can speak to their child's teacher about school report's or their progress this semester. It is also a time that teachers can share assessment data, goals and expectations for Semester 2.
Interviews are scheduled for Monday 20th June from 3.40pm - 7pm and Wednesday 22nd June from 3.40pm - 5.30pm.
Please note: Grade 5/6 Monckton will have phone interviews conducted in the week prior (13th June - 16th June). Phone interviews can be booked through the same platform but instead of End of Semester Parent Teacher Interviews - select the Parent Teacher Interviews 56 Monckton (phone) option.
CAR SPEED LIMIT FOR DROP OFF OR PICK UP
A reminder to all parents that the speed limit for both of our school drop off and pick up lines is 10km. We need to make sure all in our community are following speed limits to keep our kids safe, especially during these colder and wetter mornings.
CHILDREN WALKING HOME VIA DROUIN REC RESERVE
We have noted that we have a lot of students who are now walking from school via the Drouin Rec Reserve gate at the end of the day.
In the interest of student safety, we will monitor all students who walk and ask them to assemble at the end of each day under the shelter before exiting as a group.
A staff member will walk the children around to the grassed area behind the signage and parked cars so they can exit through the gate behind the goals.
For parents and carers who are parking and waiting for their child to walk to their car, these children will also meet under the shelter and parents will need to exit their cars to collect their children at the gate.
Parents must notify their child's teacher via class Dojo, a written note or email to give permission for their child/ren to walk from this point.
We thank you for supporting us to have a child safe environment at St Ita’s.

NCCD INFORMATION SHEET FOR PARENTS
COVID UPDATE
We are still getting cases of Covid-19 and Influenza at St Ita’s across all grades.
Whist we are getting our staffing back on track, it’s vitally important that we do our best to keep everyone safe at St Ita’s. Thanks to parents for supporting us by keeping kids away from school whilst displaying symptoms.
If your child is displaying any symptoms at all, please keep them at home, RAT test them and only send them back to school when all symptoms have cleared.
If children present at school with symptoms you will be contacted by the classroom teacher or admin and you will be required to collect your child.
We will continue to work together to get through this current outbreak and make sure we provide students and staff with the safest possible environment whilst at school.
