Dear Parents/Friends/Guardians 14th January 2005 Happy New Year and welcome
to the new children in Changing Please could parents note our policy on changing
reading books, and ensure that the books are only changed in school time with
the agreement of the class teacher, not by parents at any time. Absence Letters In
view of the unique circumstances at the end of the last term regarding
absence due to illness, we have not asked for absence letters from parents
whose children were off sick at that time.
In future, however, we will continue with our usual system of
requiring a written explanation for any absence. To
date, we have asked you to send in a letter but have decided to change this to
a new system which we hope will be easier and quicker for everyone concerned. When your child is absent, you will receive
via the book bag a form to complete and return either via the class teacher
or direct to the office. Please return
the form promptly. There may be a
slight delay in sending the form out to you, as the registers are usually
administered at the end of the week; if you wish to pick up a form from the
office yourself, you are very welcome to do so. Alternatively, if you wish to send us an
email explaining the absence, rather than receive the form, that is equally
acceptable as it will save on paperwork. Nail Varnish Please note
that children should not wear nail varnish to school. Thank you for your understanding and
co-operation. Mid-Day Supervisors If you would
be interested working as a mid-day supervisor at the school
on a part-time basis, job-sharing with another member of staff, please
contact the office. Following the very successful pilot scheme in the
spring term of 2004, we are hoping to continue this wonderful experience of
outdoor learning and are grateful to the PTA for agreeing to support this
scheme through their fundraising. The scheme will be available for children in the
Foundation Stage (Nursery and Reception) and a meeting has been arranged for
parents to find out more. It will be
held on 7th February at the Lift Share to/from Little Chalfont A
parent has expressed interest in organising a lift share to and from Little
Chalfont. If you live in that area and
would like to share the school run, please let the office know. Newsletters by email We will not be
sending out this newsletter via email, as the response was unfortunately not
sufficient to make it worthwhile.
However, we are de-duping for families with more than one child at the
school. SATs
Meeting There will be
a meeting for parents of Year 2 children who will be involved in SATs on Wednesday 23rd
February. It will be held at 7.00pm in the School Hall. NPQH Congratulations
