next week tuesday 12th weather permitting will be winter tournament for kauri team pupils we will be travelling by bus and the cost for this is being covered from school funds a separate notice came home about this recently however we are short of parent helpers to act as team managers in particular we need another manager for each of these sports ­ netball soccer touch and miniball we also have some volunteers who can t make the postponement date thursday 14th so if some could offer for that day that would also be helpful if you can assist please let katrina know on friday ­ or you could email her also on kmollet@milson.school.nz without this assistance our school participation might not be possible as many will be aware we currently have lots of pupils with various sicknesses the following are things we need to have happen:a please ensure the school knows before 9 am that your child is going to be away you can either phone the school office 3585204 or txt on 027 362 5008 because we try to contact all families when children are absent without any notification this can mean a lot of time by office staff ringing parents b please note however that if we don t get hold of you we are still required to record why a child is absent so if your child is away for any reason and you have been unable to let the school know then on the first day your child returns to school they need to bring a note explaining the reason for the absence c in future a letter will be sent home asking for an explanation if this note is not received at present if no explanation is given the child is eventually marked down as being truant over time
