Whole School Letter (21)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CROSSING PATROL
Please can we advise parents that Mrs Bone is likely to be off for a number of weeks. SCC are unable to provide a supply Patrol Officer and I am afraid the school is be unable to cover too, except when PC Hassler is available to do this for us. Parents should take care when crossing their children over College Road, and we would suggest that no child is left to cross this road unaccompanied until further notice. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

SECURITY DOORS
We will be trialling keeping the door by the Office locked at ALL TIMES for added security. Any parent wishing to come to the office in the morning can be seen at the reception window or ‘buzzed’ through with their children by the office staff if necessary. Other children and parents should use the other doors to enter the school. The only unaccompanied children to come through this door should be the bus children but only if the bus is late.

CH AND CA RECORDER CLUBS
Due to staff training THIS THURSDAY there will be no recorder club for those taught by Miss Ashberry and Mrs Hopkins.

ABSENCE REMINDER
Please can parents remember to leave the class name as well as your child’s name when leaving a message on the answer machine about an absence. Thank you

MEDICAL/ DENTAL APPOINTMENTS
We would like to remind parents that DCSF advice states that routine appointments for dental/medical reasons should be made for after school or during the holidays. We do appreciate this is not always possible, but if an appointment does have to be made during school time could parents please let the class teacher know as much in advance as possible in writing. Thank you.
The booklet ‘Attendance – a Guide For Parents’ is available from the school office for any parent who would like one. Parents new to the school will be receiving one in the ‘starter pack’ shortly.
