Welcome Back!

9^th January 2014

 

Dear parents,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

Welcome back and hope you all had a restful holiday and survived the stormy weather!

 

Our new receptionist Miss Greaves, who has taken over from Mrs. Dumbrill, started with us this week. So could you please remember the following:

• Our school office is manned from 8am and not before,

• Any items your child has forgotten should be brought up before 10am

• Open to general queries from 3pm ie the end of the school day.

UNIFORM

All children should wear the correct school uniform, a copy of this is attached to this letter.

 

Please LABEL all items of uniform, so if found can be returned to the correct child. There are many useful websites that can provide iron on labels for uniform, which are very reasonable. For example www.wovenlabelsuk/com; www.gbnametapes.co.uk  or mark clearly with permanent pen. This includes coats, hats etc. We fully appreciate how frustrating it can be when your child loses some of the uniform and I know my staff spend a lot of time trying to find these for you, so it would help enormously if the uniform and all their belongings were labelled in the first place.

For P.E. lessons your children will be going outside weather permitting so for these winter months please bring in a dark pair of jogging bottoms for them to wear. Please put their name on them and they can be kept in their P.E. bag along with the rest of their kit. They will wear their white T-shirt and we do have Parsloes Primary PE jumpers for them to wear over the top so no other extra items are necessary.

Please ensure that your child has the correct P.E kit and that earrings are out for the P.E days if your child cannot get them out themselves. If your child is well enough to attend school then they are expected to do P.E.

 Finally please be aware that no polo neck or long sleeve tops are allowed underneath your child’s Parsloes polo shirt. Your child will be asked to remove it if they come in with this on. If your child has a cold then they can wear their Parsloes sweatshirt on top.

 

LUNCHES AND SNACKS

 

It has been our school policy for many years that children should only bring in either cereal bars or fruit for snack time. Infant children are provided with a piece of fruit daily and junior pupils can buy a cereal bar from the tuck shop.

Also pack lunches should not include fizzy drinks, sweets or chocolate bars.
