Communication with Parents

Question or concern:

If over the course of the year, you have a question or concern please don’t hesitate to
contact us. Nearly always “things” are easier to fix when they are small rather leaving
contacting us until they get more problematic.
Teaching staff can be emailed using their email  firstname.familyname@pukete.school.nz or visit our staff page and for teachers email addresses  if unsure you can email the office  -
office@pukete.school.nz or ring the office 849 4352.

School Newsletters                                            

These are compiled weekly to keep parents/caregivers informed of all school activities. The newsletter is e-mailed out on Friday, posted to our school Facebook page and online here for those parents/caregivers who wish to use this option.

Email/ Calls Home

We aim to work closely with parents to ensure that your child gains the maximum benefit from their time at Pukete School. Teachers will email/phone parents in regards to student progress and behaviour to keep everyone in the loop.

Parent Involvement

We encourage parents to become involved in the school.   We have opportunities available for families to support with sports coaching and management, fundraising through our school PTA, and class trips and camps.

Formal opportunities will be organised by the school during Terms 1 and 3 to discuss reports.

Change of Address or Phone Number

Please notify the school office if you change your address or phone number. 

We need current phone numbers in case of an emergency.
