Your children will have probably told you about the
ambulance they saw at school this week and unfortunately it was due to a member
of staff being injured and requiring assistance. Mrs Gregory slipped at work
this week and has badly broken her left arm. She is going to be off school for
a few weeks while her arm heals. We are going to try and keep the office
running as efficiently as normal (Mrs Byrne is even coming back to do a few
hours for us) but if we are a little late in dealing with any of your enquiries
please be patient with us at this difficult time.
One of the good things about the beginning of the year is
that the children all look smart in their new uniforms and it is always amusing
to watch the Year 3 managing their ties and collars. I would like to thank
everyone that has made an effort to get their child into the correct uniform
but I do need to highlight that some children are wearing canvas shoes and some
are coming in wearing jewellery. The rules are that the children must wear
formal, non-casual smart, waterproof shoes which are not sneakers or canvas and
the only jewellery they are allowed to wear is a watch. If children have ears
which are newly pierced they need to cover them in tape until they are properly
healed and after that they should not wear earrings in school.
Last night we had the ‘Meet the Teacher’ sessions in school
and it was good to see so many parents in school. Although it was only a brief
meeting to outline the class expectations for the year, everyone that I spoke
to found it a very positive experience which is the reason why we hold
them. As I explained last week if anyone
was unable to attend they will be kept informed of what is happening in their
child’s class via the class blogs.
