Kia ora e te whānau,

Just a quick update that any students or staff who are deemed close contacts (according to Ministry of Education guidelines) have now been emailed with instructions about self-isolation. This has also been sent to parents and caregivers of these students.

If your young person is a close contact or is remaining at home for any other reason remember we are already set up for our young people to continue learning from home! They can simply head to their Google Classroom for each class. 

Please email absences@ashs.school.nz if your young person is not a close contact and is remaining at home for a different reason. Also please ensure you contact us if your young person ever returns a positive test. 

In the meantime, please continue to follow good hand-washing and hygiene practices

• Wash often with soap for 20 seconds and dry your hands completely.
• Wash your hands if you have been in a public place or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
• Avoid touching your face if your hands are not clean.
• Cough or sneeze into your elbow or cover your mouth with tissues. 
• Keep your mask on!
