Reminders


20th November 2012

Dear Parents
PARKING in SHORTCROFTS ROAD:

Unfortunately I have received complaints from our residents in Shortcrofts Road, regarding some parents inconsiderate driving, parking and in one case verbal abuse.
Could I please remind you all again of the following:

• There is NO parking on any dropped kerbs, as these are residents driveways

• It is not a one way system; while I know many think this would be preferable, it is ultimately the decision of the residents; so please SLOW DOWN when you drive on this road.

• There is NO parking at any time on the zig zag lines.

• When stopping to drop your children off please be considerate of other road users and move off quickly and safely.
Residents may also consider requesting that this road becomes residents parking only, which would make getting your child to and from school even more difficult. So please do comply with these rules, as I know that the vast majority of you do already, so thank you.
UNIFORM:

All children should wear the correct uniform to school each day,( this should be labelled), this does include the correct footwear too. Please see overleaf for details.
We have two bins full of lost property so please so come and check to see if any of these belong to your child.
Nearly new uniform: I fully understand and empathise that replacing uniform is costly especially in the current economic climate and therefore we do have a good supply of nearly new uniform if any of you are interested, in a range of sizes. If you would like to avail of this please contact Mrs. Dumbrill in the school office.
INDIVIDUAL PHOTOGRAPHS:

We have arranged for the photographers to come in again Thursday 22nd at 9.30 to take pictures of any of those children who were away last Thursday.

Thank you for your co-operation with these.


Yours sincerely,


Mrs Lipski

Head Teacher

Individual Photographs

Friday 9th November 2012


Dear parents
Thursday 15th 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
