2017 First Day of School Important Information

Dear Parents, Caregivers and Whānau,

At Arataki School we value whānaungatanga and working together with whānau for

the success of our tamariki so on Wednesday 1st February (our official first day of

school) we are going to have a special day for whānau to come in and talk with

teachers.  This is for teachers to learn from whānau and children about their

students’ interests and how we can support them best throughout 2017.

 

 

Please book your appointment online with your child’s/children’s teacher.  Each

interview is 15 minutes long.

Please note that school is open for meeting the teacher but not for

normal classroom instruction. This means your child comes to the

appointment with you and leaves after the appointment.
