School Closures

25th November 2010

Dear Parents

Emergency Contacts

It is important that we have up to date contact details for you. This will allow us to contact you either in an emergency for your child or if we need to contact you for an unplanned closure.

In the event of us having to close the school for an unforeseen event, e.g. bad weather, no heating etc. we will be able to inform you in a number of ways as detailed below.

Groupcall

A text message will be sent to the mobile number that you have provided as early as possible on the day of closure.


School Website – www.parsloesprimary.co.uk

The school website will be updated as early as possible both with details of the closure and also when we will re-open.


School Open Check

This is a London Grid for Learning service that enables us to up date our school status which parents can check in the following way:


• Visit the borough’s website, www.lbbd.gov.uk and click on the link schools on the left hand side under useful

links

• Click on the link school closures

• Click on the link school status

You will then see the current status of our school.

If you do not have access to the internet or you prefer to use the phone you can call the following number to get the relevant information.

020 8408 7508 - You will need our school’s DfE code which is 3012064.


It would be useful to try this out before an emergency closure so that you are used to the procedure.


Should you require any further information or you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Fairweather in the school office who will be happy to help you.

Please keep this information for future use.



Yours sincerely

INDIVIDUAL PHOTOGRAPHS

Tuesday 2nd November 2010

Dear parents

Monday 8th NOVEMBER: INDIVIDUAL PHOTOGRAPHS

Arrangements have been made for the photographer to be in school on the above date to take the
pupils photographs individually, in family groups (brothers and sisters already attending school) and
family groups including children not yet in school. Should you wish your children to have their
photographs taken, please co-operate with the following arrangements:

All school children should be wearing the full school uniform

Individual photographs

All children in both school and nursery will have their photographs taken individually.


Family Groups

We will organise family groups containing children in school or/and the morning nursery.
Children in the afternoon nursery need to be brought into school as usual.


Pre School and Family Groups ( same organisation as last year)

Those of you who want to bring toddlers and babies to school to be photographed with your other
children who already attend school are very welcome.

Please come into school with your child at normal school time and you will be taken to the main hall.
This will save us time in having to go and collect your child from class.

Once in the hall you will be given a number which will be the order in which the photographs will be taken.


All pupils will be photographed, individually and with their brothers and sisters, unless you inform us otherwise.

You are under no obligation to purchase these photographs, but proofs will be sent out with the children
as soon as they arrive in school. Information about prices and how to order the photographs will be contained in these envelopes. Please ensure the correct money is enclosed in the envelopes.


Yours sincerely

POPPY DAY

4th November 2010

On Thursday 11th November Parsloes Primary School will be holding a Remembrance

Day ceremony at 11 O’clock.

This year as well as selling poppies, we will be selling a red helium balloon for £1. The

proceeds of this will be donated to the British Legion.


The children will be given the balloon on the day to take outside and following our two

minutes silence, these will be released.


Please can you send in your £1 donation with your child by Wednesday 10th November

so we have the right number of balloons ready for the ceremony the following morning.


If you are around you are welcome to come along.


Thank you for your support



Yours sincerely
