Mid Year Report and Learning Conference Information<\/h3>
Reports are being published at the end of next week, 7 June, and will be available to view on HERO. Following this, Learning Conferences will be held in Week 7 on Tuesday 11 June and Wednesday 12 June. <\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>
Conferences will start at 1.45pm on both days. To support the availability of staff for these conferences we ask for children to please be collected from school on both days at 1.30pm<\/b>. Supervision will be available until 3pm for a small group of children. More information about this will come out to you via Hero next week.<\/span> These conferences will be an important opportunity to connect with your child's teacher and learn more about your child's learning progress and achievement. Your child attends the Learning Conference with you.<\/div>

<\/div>
Please book a Learning Conference for each of your children by clicking on this link<\/a><\/span><\/span> <\/span>and enter the code usvg6 <\/b>and follow the instructions. <\/div>

<\/div>
If your child is in Steve Cooke's Home Group<\/b> please book by clicking on this link<\/a> <\/span><\/span>and enter the code 6ab6s<\/b>. Steve's conferences will operate slightly differently as he has a professional commitment to facilitate learning for teachers from other schools on those days.<\/div>

<\/div>
We recommend not<\/i> booking time slots back to back, in case meetings run over the allocated time.<\/div>

<\/div>
If you need any assistance to book a conference, please contact Jacky in the office on 03 337 1404 or office@beckenham.school.nz<\/div><\/div>\n\n

School Notices<\/h2>

Uniforms<\/h3><\/div>
Our school uniform has been designed so that many items are easy wear and available to be purchased at most clothing stores where cost and quality is your choice. We appreciate your support in ensuring tamariki are wearing the correct uniform items to school.

The full uniform can be found on our website, linked here.<\/a>

<\/div>Please would you also check the names on your child's jerseys as we have a few missing but named uniform items that may have accidentally been collected and taken to the wrong one home. <\/div>

<\/div>
Spare Uniform <\/b><\/div>

<\/b><\/div>
As we head into winter we are noticing the inevitable increase of muddy shoes and clothes as students come back from play and lunch, having played sports and games on the Park (or in the puddles!).<\/span> If your child is coming home with very muddy or wet clothes, please consider supplying them with a spare pair of school shorts and a spare school top for them to change into once they finish their play.

Cyber Safety Information<\/h3>
As our tamariki spend more time online, it\u2019s important parents and wh\u0101nau help them stay safe. Now is a great time to talk to your tamariki about how we use the internet and digital technology safely.<\/div>
