Dear Community
亲爱的鸽子山小学社区：

We learned yesterday that schools would not be reopening for onsite learning at the start of Term 4, and that Auckland would be remaining at Alert Level 3.
我们昨天已经获悉奥克兰将保持三级预警，学校在第四学期开学时不会重新开放。

This means that distance learning will resume on Monday 18th October, and online platforms and programmes will pick up where they left off at the close of Term 3. We expect a further update next Monday on the status of schools and potential reopening.
这就意味着远程教学将会在10月18日周一恢复，所有线上平台和教学项目将会接续第三学期继续为学员开放。同时，我们也等待下周一政府有关奥克兰学校安排的相关指南。

Effectively, school remains closed other than for the children of essential workers who have no adults to support with care and supervision. We have contacted the small number of families who attended ‘Bubble School’ previously under Alert Level 3 about our arrangements for this term.
我们学校将仍然保持仅对来自基本需求行业家庭并没有成人居家照看的学员们开放。我们已经和之前在三级预警下不得不返校的“学校泡泡”家庭们联络过，并通知他们接下来三级预警下的校内具体安排。

We are now 8 weeks into the current lockdown and our teachers have been full of praise for the support you are providing your children. Your commitment to their learning, their routines and their connections is incredible and we are proud to be part of the Pigeon Mountain community – He waka eke noa.
迄今为止这一阶段的居家隔离已有八周，我们学校和老师们诚挚地感谢您对孩子们所提供的的帮助和支持。大家为孩子们的网课学校，居家学习日常和他们与学校的连接做出了难以置信的努力和贡献。我们为鸽子山小学社区而自豪 – 齐心协力，共渡难关！

As always, we will keep you informed and updated as the latest information comes to hand.
和以往一样，我们会给大家及时更新相关信息。
