Enjoy the weekend. E noho ra John What do you think of ERO’s parent booklets? The Education Review Office (ERO) publishes a series of five booklets for parents and caregivers. They want to find out how useful the information is to parents, how the booklets can be improved, and if parents would prefer to receive the information in a different way. They’re starting with a survey of How is my child doing? To take part in the survey go to www.ero.govt.nz – Featured Publications. The survey runs until the end of September and only takes a few minutes to complete. *%)$ !#")" \Uhg_'fc``Yf! X]gWc $ &$ &RZOHV6WDGLXP!
