Communications with Home:
We have several ways of communication with families and whānau – weekly e-Bulletins, School App, Facebook, Community Newsletters and weekly memos from subject teachers through Google Classroom.
School App:
The app is a communication stream between school and families and is a one-stop shop for a range of information:
- Contact details of all staff
- Links to websites
- Daily notices
- A KAMAR parent portal that allows students and their parents/caregivers access to their academic record and attendance
- A map of the school
- Newsletters / e-Bulletins
- School events calendar
- Parents/caregivers are able to log their child’s absence from school directly from the app.
Once subscribed, app users will be able to receive ‘push notification’ alerts on their devices.
Parent Portal:
To access your child’s academic and attendance record via the KAMAR Student Management System, you can either login as a parent or as a student. To login as a student – the username is the student’s unique 5-digit ID number and their password, which they will know. To login as a parent use the student’s ID number for the username and your parent password. If you are unsure what your password is, please email Student Services studentservices@haurakiplains.school.nz
