Waimea College is yet to confirm a positive COVID-19 case here at school, however we are aware that a number of students are isolating and getting tested so it’s timely to share an update about how we want you to communicate student absences related to COVID-19.
Reporting a student who is isolating:
To report a student who is isolating please reach out to our Attendance Office by emailing attendance@waimea.school.nz or by phoning 544 6099 and selecting option 1.
Please provide:
- Student name
- Year Level
- Reason for isolating e.g. identified as a close contact.
Reporting a student who tests positive for COVID-19:
Please inform us immediately if your student tests positive for COVID-19. This will allow us to commence our contact tracing processes without delay. Contact can be made via email to inspire@waimea.school.nz or by phoning 544 6099.
Please provide:
- Student name
- Year Level
- Your best contact details.
A member of the Senior Leadership Team will make contact to confirm further details and to support you and your teen with the next steps.
If you missed the COVID-update we shared on Friday, please check it out HERE.
As always, if your teen is ill for any other reason – e.g. a cold, an upset stomach etc – please keep them at home. Then contact our Attendance Office with your teens details, including the reason they are away by emailing attendance@waimea.school.nz or by phoning 544 6099 and selecting option 1.
Stay safe.
