Keeping ACPS community informed through COVID-19

Throughout this uncertain time, we aim to provide regular updates to parents and carers of students at Armidale City Public School.
Remote learning options are no longer required as students have returned to full time face to face learning at Armidale City Public School. Links to learning materials that have been provided for the student’s educational use during the COVID-19 outbreak have been disabled to ensure that we are not breaching copyright. The Peaceful Kids at Home links will continue to be active as our school purchased the right to use these resources with our community
Seesaw access will continue to be used by some teachers to ensure that we have a platform ready for use in the event we need to return to remote learning at any time in the future. Information will be provided around this by individual teachers. We appreciate the dedication of parents and staff in using this platform to upload work during remote learning.
As COVID-19 is still of concern, visitors are restricted on school sites. We are asking that parents of students continue to only enter the school via the front entrance (Gate 3) when essential and not enter buildings without a scheduled appointment or contacting the front office. All visitors to the school need to check-in using the QR code and are strongly urged to wear a mask.
Parents are asked to drop off or pick up students from outside the school grounds. All adults are asked to maintain distance from students and other adults and to leave the area as soon as students are dropped off or collected.
If your child is unwell, we ask that they stay at home until free of symptoms and have tested negative on a PCR or rapid antigen test. If there are even the mildest of cold or flu symptoms, children will need to be tested prior to their return. Parents are asked to contact the school as soon as possible via phone or through the Absentee Form on School Stream. Rapid antigen tests have been supplied to families each term.
It is important that adults maintain a physical distance of 1.5m, even when outside the school fence and especially when inside the front office and foyer area. Hand sanitiser is available at two locations at the front of the school. If you are unwell, please do not enter the school grounds or office.
