Be Ready Be Kind Be Your Best ELERMORE ENDEAVOUR Term 1 Week 4 19 February 2021 Dear Parents and Carers, Along with our new rules: Be Ready, Be Kind, Be Your Best – we have commenced a new reward system at EVPS this year. Rewards are more focused on recognising the student in the moment and may come with teacher recognition, class acknowledgement, a thumbs up or a letter/phone call home. Any students who have qualified for a silver award under the previous system can bring them to the front office. These will still be honored. Our school strategic directions planning is well underway. We will be focusing on three key areas – Student Achievement, High Expectation Relationships and Innovative Practices. These principles will be guiding our practice and be our focus of improvement over the next 4 years. Once finalised it will be shared with the whole school community. Congratulations to our wonderful Zone swimming team who competed at Speers Point pool yesterday. Everyone got wet, everyone tried their best and everyone supported each other. Great representatives of our school in performance and attitude! This week we had 80% of our students attending school at higher than 90%. Well done! Remember, every minute matters! Last Friday we held our first Frozen Fun Friday – one student from each class in our K-6 were identified by their teachers as doing the Elermore Way in class. They then had an icy pole and a chat with me on Friday afternoon. It was a great way to end the week! Our Frozen Fun Friday students for Week 4 are: Zak, Jai, Ben, Kai, Milla, Delilah, Oscar, Will, Giselle, Brooklyn H, Edmund, Charlotte, Madison C and Jackson!

This key will only work for the creation of one login using your chosen email address. Some families have indicated the need to have a second login using a different email address, for example where each parent requires access using their own email rather than a joint email address. Should you require a second access key, please simply inform the school, remembering to quote your child's name and class.

Term 1 Week 4 19 February 2021
Dear Parents and Carers,
Along with our new rules: Be Ready, Be Kind, Be
Your Best – we have commenced a new reward
system at EVPS this year. Rewards are more
focused on recognising the student in the moment
and may come with teacher recognition, class
acknowledgement, a thumbs up or a letter/phone call
home.
Any students who have qualified for a silver award
under the previous system can bring them to the front
office. These will still be honored.
Our school strategic directions planning is well
underway. We will be focusing on three key areas –
Student Achievement, High Expectation
Relationships and Innovative Practices. These
principles will be guiding our practice and be our
focus of improvement over the next 4 years. Once
finalised it will be shared with the whole school
community.
Congratulations to our wonderful Zone swimming
team who competed at Speers Point pool yesterday.
Everyone got wet, everyone tried their best and
everyone supported each other. Great
representatives of our school in performance and
attitude!
This week we had 80% of our students attending
school at higher than 90%. Well done! Remember,
every minute matters!
Last Friday we held our first Frozen Fun Friday – one
student from each class in our K-6 were identified by
their teachers as doing the Elermore Way in class.
They then had an icy pole and a chat with me on
Friday afternoon. It was a great way to end the week!
Our Frozen Fun Friday students for Week 4 are: Zak,
Jai, Ben, Kai, Milla, Delilah, Oscar, Will, Giselle,
Brooklyn H, Edmund, Charlotte, Madison C and
Jackson!
Regards,
Luke Somerville
Parent Portal
Last week a unique key was sent out to each family
to enable registration for access to the Parent
Portal. This key will only work for the creation of
one login using your chosen email address. Some
families have indicated the need to have a second
login using a different email address, for example
where each parent requires access using their own
email rather than a joint email address. Should you
require a second access key, please simply inform
the school, remembering to quote your child's
name and class.
COVID restrictions
We are still operating under COVID restrictions
that have been determined by the NSW
Government. These include:
-Students and staff are required to stay at home if
they have any illness symptoms. Before returning
to school they must be symptom free and have
completed a COVID test. The negative COVID test
must be supplied to the school email before
returning.
-Non-essential adults are not permitted on school
grounds or at school events.
-Parents and carers are not allowed on school
sites during school hours except for specific
purposes, such as scheduled appointments with
staff, canteen duties and entering the school
administration office for enquiries.
Many events that we run at school require prior
planning. These events are planned in line with the
restrictions at the time. While restrictions may
change we are often unable to change our plans
to accommodate the different guidelines in a short
space of time.
Each school’s planning and approach to activities
is different – please do not compare. Every school
is trying to provide for our students the best we
can.

CANTEEN
It has been so nice to be able to offer the canteen services 5 days a week again! And we’ve noticed the kids are loving
it too! You can find a menu on the QuickCliq website, which is our online ordering system. We do prefer orders to be
placed through this system as it makes things easier for us, however, we also still accept over the counter orders (before
9am).
