School Closed Today

Due to unsafe weather conditions, school is closed today to keep students and staff safe.

 With many students walking to school, we are choosing to err on the side of caution. Further updates will follow if needed. Stay safe.

We understand this can be an inconvenience so apologise but safety at this time is priority for everyone.

As you would have seen Civil Defense  Manawatū - Whanganui have declared a regional

pre-emptive State of Emergency.

Palmerston North is not meant to get as affected as our neighbours but we still need to be prepared.

At the moment 
TAKARO SCHOOL WILL BE OPEN TOMORROW. 

But as we know things like weather can change quickly. So the Board of Trustees and myself will be monitoring the situation and take advice from our local emergency services. 
Our considerations will be about ensuring non-essential travel is limited for students and staff safety.  We will make a decision at 6.30am. 

If we decide to close then we will alert whānau on here, Facebook and an email will be sent. 

If you decide to keep your tamariki home tomorrow, please alert the office as normal.

Stay safe whānau
