Managing Your Data

Managing Your Data - For students leaving Carterton School Dec 2015

Now that you are leaving Carterton School, you must retrieve your data if you wish to keep any of the work you have completed using your @carterton.school.nz Google account.

There are two ways that you can do this:

1. Transferring data to a personal Google Account  - Because school domains do not let users transfer ownership beyond the school domain, students must make their copies using a personal account. To do this, students must first share their work with a personal account before logging in under the personal account and make copies of all  document copies (you can copy whole folders at a time). The personal account will own all copies made.
2. By downloading a copy of all Google content using the Google Takeout Service. This service lets users download their data from Google Services like Drive, Sites, Blogger, and Calendar.

When logged in to your school account, go to My Account - Control Your Content - Create Archive. You should then be at - https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout  and can select the content you want to download to your computer as zip files.

At the end of December you will no longer be able to use your gmail account but you will be able to access your Drive until the end of Term 1. After this your Carterton School account will be suspended and you will have to contact me if you need to access any work you have not transferred to your personal account.

Classroom Release Days have changed

My Classroom Release days are now the 5th and 6th of November. They have had to change due to Powell Huts new dates.

School Athletics date has changed to Monday 9th November.

Powell Hut has been postponed until next week due to high winds.

Part Three - Other Room 12 Information

Report Files will be sent home this term. The date for these to be sent home will be on the school newsletter. Please return your child’s report file if it is still at home so we can work on them.

The school newsletter is sent home each Tuesday to the youngest or only child in a family.  Please read it, as there is a lot of important information and dates in it.  The newsletter can be emailed to you.  You need to give Mrs Hutchings or Mrs Pratt your email address if you wish to receive it this way.   Remember to download our Carterton School App which updates you quickly with important information, messages, notices, reminders and the newsletters.

The school day begins at 8.55.  Please make sure that your child is at school before the bell rings.  If your child is late to school they will need to go to the office for a Late Slip.

During each term I am entitled to two Classroom Release Days and one Management Release Day  On these days Ms Whitburn or Ms Taylor will be teaching Room 12.  These dates for my CRT days are 28th and 29th of October.

To help the school, your child and myself, please send notes to school about any sickness, absences or any other issues, as sending notes saves time and confusion.

Head lice are an ongoing problem.  If your child is itching please check them and treat them if necessary.  We will have head lice checks in class if it is needed.  A note will be sent home if this is about to happen.

If your child has Asthma, please send an inhaler to school.  The inhaler can be kept in their school bag until it is needed.  Please let me know if your child has any medical conditions that I need to be aware of, including having an inhaler in their bag.

If you have any questions, concerns or would like additional information about your child’s learning and progress, please ring, text, email (details below) or come in and see me at school.  I recommend that you come between 8.15 and 8:45am.  Although on Tuesday mornings the staff have an Administration Meeting in the Staffroom from 8:00 until 8:30 so I will not be in classroom until 8:30 on Tuesday mornings.  Or please come to see me between 3.00 and 4:30pm, as I will usually be in the classroom, staffroom or the Library, preparing or assessing work.  Please remember Team Kahikatea meets on a Tuesday at 3:30 and on Wednesday afternoons we have Professional Learning Staff Meetings which begin at 3:30 so I will be unavailable at those times also.  I am on Gate Duty every Friday so I need to be at the gate soon after the 3:00 bell.  If you need to see me could you please wait until I return which should be about 3:15.

I am really looking forward to a productive term full of learning and engagement!  Please do not hesitate to contact me at school or at home, on 379 6624 (before 9:00pm) or you could email me at mmacgregor@carterton.school.nz if you have anything to discuss.

Teachers and parents working together make a powerful combination.

Kind regards,

Melanie MacGregor

Please encourage your children to… READ, READ, READ…

Part Two - Other Room 12 Information

For PE this term we are participating in Jump Jam, Athletics and Summer sports skills.  Please encourage your child to wear sensible footwear to school or bring trainers/sneakers to put on when needed.

Hub 3 is our buddy class.  We are calling this session Tuakana/Teina (Big kids helping little kids).  During this time we read, write, develop spelling and maths skills, as well as build friendships with our buddies.  This happens every Friday before lunch for 20 minutes.  This helps our older students develop leadership skills and gives the younger children great role models and a sense of belonging.  

Camp Fundraising = As you are aware we have a camp planned for this term.  At this point we can give you a very approximate cost of $240 per student.  A more accurate amount of what you need to pay will be coming home soon.  A big thank you to those of you who have already started to pay.  If you are unable to pay this in full you can make part payments.  This can be paid to the office or by automatic payment. 

Camp El Rancho = Letters will be coming home about camp so if you do not receive 

anything, please contact me and I will email them to you directly.

Powell Hut / EOTC / Sports = We have an extremely busy term again this term and I have 

added below all dates for EOTC outings etc. below.  These will be weather dependent.  A 

message on the school newsletter or a notice  will be sent home prior to each event giving 

out relevant information.  Once again if you do not receive any information let me know 

ASAP so I can get you a copy.

Homework and Communication = Homework will continue to be given every week on Monday and be expected to be returned by Monday / Tuesday the following week. Your child has a communications book or a folder that will be brought home regularly with information from school to home.  Please continue to remind your child to use their communication books like a diary. These help them build their organisation skills and this is great preparation for college. This also continues to develop independent learners plus encourages the students to be organised and responsible. We use the communication book to record homework tasks, spelling words and things they need to remember etc. This is also the best place for notes to me regarding absences, concerns etc.  Below is a brief outline of homework tasks over the term.

· Each Monday the students are given a list of topic related and essential list spelling words to learn. These are tested on Friday.

· There will be weekly homework for Room 12 and 14.  We will be continuing with Kiwi Kids News for this homework.  This will be issued on Monday and due the following Monday and will be marked on Tuesday.

· There may be weekly homework set by the Technology teachers.  This will be issued on Tuesday and is due the following Tuesday.
