WHOLE SCHOOL LETTER (10)

EXCITING NEWS
I am delighted to inform parents that Mrs Spencer is expecting a baby.

MRS GREENACRE
I am very sad to say that Mrs Greenacre will be leaving us at the end of this term due to family commitments. I would like to thank her for all the hard work and dedication she has put in in her role as part time Maths teacher, we will miss her and wish her well. We are advertising this post, but if you know of anyone who may be interested in this role for 5 mornings each week, application forms can be obtained from the school office. If you would like to contribute to a leaving gift this can be given in at the office.

CROSSING COLLEGE ROADPlease can we ask that parents keep their children WITH them while crossing College Road. On occasions small children have arrived to cross the road unaccompanied because they have run ahead of their parents. Mrs Bone is only responsible for crossing them over the road; she really cannot be caring for them while the parents catch up. Thank you.

MARIE CURIE MINI POTS OF CARE
Thank you to those of you who have returned the sponsorship envelopes, for those of you who still have them, please can we remind you to return them if you wish to do so.

CHILDREN’S CHRISTMAS CARDSAgain please can we remind parents to either return the unwanted cards or the money (£5 per pack of 8) to the school office before the end of half term. Thank you.

INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS
On Tuesday 18 November photos of all individual children and family groups will be taken. This year we are trying more informal shots of the individual children, you will receive a proof sheet with a choice of 3 poses for purchase. The children will be photographed in their white school shirts. If you wish to bring pre-school children into school to join your family group photo (which will be more formal as in previous years), please come to the hall at 8.30am.

THE GIVING MACHINE
The Friends recently distributed leaflets about this website which, once you have registered, you can use to do internet shopping at many online stores. The online stores then give a % of your purchase price directly to our school (as your selected charity) – it does not cost you anything and the school benefits directly. The Friends politely ask that you consider using this when doing any online shopping. www.TheGivingMachine.co.uk. Thank you.
