Apologies for not getting this newsletter out last week, We are not sure where the time went.

Thank you to all parents whanau who are coming in and supporting the many events. IPS continues to be a hum and buzz centre of learning right through to 20 December.

Teachers are heavily involved in assessment and reporting. It is timely to remind you all that reports will go home Thursday 12 December. Please note you are very welcome to make a time to meet with your child's teacher if you wish, however we will not be setting times as a school as we do in the mid year.

Please check your child's bag for these as they will continue to be awarded at Team and School Assemblies. It is important you celebrate with your child as they reach REACH Milestones.

We are aiming to give these out (weather permitting) next Monday at our Full School Assembly as we had to postpone our scheduled one for toady due to weather. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Being prepared for indoor and outdoor activities.
