Dear Parents
What a delight it was to have everyone (well … almost everyone) back on site today.
Children spoke of the sense of delight they had in seeing their friends again.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during remote learning – I know this places extra pressures on many families.
We in advance thank you for your patience as adjustments are made to plans with the very changing restrictions and requirements due to COVID. On a positive note it is creating a great resiliance in all and an ability to adapt to change at short notice.
Drop off and Pick up will continue to be via the "Kiss and Drop" zones and Pedestrian Gates. At this stage parents will not be allowed onsite. We also remind everyone that masks are to be worn at all times and those waiting at gates should be conscious of social distancing.
Next week's Parent Teacher Interviews will now be held via phone or virtually. There are details about booking these further in the newsletter.
Parent Teacher Meetings will be held on Tuesday 3 August and Wednesday 4 August from 3.40pm to 6pm. These will be held either virtually or via phone given that current restrictions do not allow us to hold these face-to-face.
Bookings will open at 9am on Thursday 29 July. To select a suitable time with your child's Learning Group Teacher or Single Subject Teacher, please go to the School Interview website using the link below and the event code 4rxuc
When booking your time you will be able to indicate if you would prefer a phone call or a virtual meeting. Please ensure you keep the email confirmation you receive, as this will contain the link for the virtual meeting.

PAM - Parent Access Module
Thank you to the majority of parents who have set up and accessed their PAM account. All parents MUST have access to PAM. This is the portal that we will be using for all communications between school and home.
If you are having any issues please email admin@stclaresofficer.catholic.edu.au
Here is the link for the St Clare's Parent Access Portal (PAM)
You username is the email address that you have registered with the school. The first time you log in we ask that you use the forgotten password feature to set your own password.
ALL parents must access PAM to receive up to date information and grant necessary permissions. Students will miss out on events if permission is not granted.
MEDICAL INFORMATION - When you update your child's medical information in PAM - PLEASE ensure this is accurate. The school must have current up to date asthma, allergy, anaphylaxis or medical plans for those students identified with these conditions and any other medical conditions such as diabetes or epilepsy. This is to ensure we have relevant information to assist your child with the management of these medical conditions.
SKOOLBAG is no longer being used. To report student absence please use PAM, email absent@stclaresofficer.catholic.edu.au or call 5940 6777
Please ensure the school has your current contact details - this includes address, email, work numbers etc. To update details please email admin@stclaresofficer.catholic.edu.au or call 5940 6777. Through PAM parents are also able to update your child's medical details.
