Levy Letter

LEVY 2019 – 2020 – REMINDER

We would like to thank all those parents who were prompt with their Levy payment of £10 per family (which can be paid in two instalments of £5) but according to our records we are still short of meeting our commitment for the Archdiocese Levy Bill.

If you have paid your first £5.00 instalment, the second payment of £5.00 is due.  If you have not yet paid please complete the slip below and return it with your money as soon as possible.

Many thanks for your co-operation.

Mrs M Walsh
Headteacher

Y3 & Y4 Disco Letter

Dear Parents/Carers,

The PTFA would like to invite your child to the Year 3 and 4 disco on Thursday 13th February 2020.

The disco will take place from 3.15pm – 4.30pm in the Junior Hall. Please ensure all children are picked up promptly 4.30pm. No children will be permitted to walk home on their own after the event.

Tickets for the event are priced at £3 and will be available for purchase on Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th February in the Junior Hall.

As well as a professionally run disco, children will be provided with a hot dog or pizza, drink and a dessert for the £3 charge.

There will also be a limited tuck shop available if children wish to bring a small amount of money on the night.

If any parents who have not already done so wish to volunteer to help out on the night, the PTFA are always grateful of your support. Please contact the school Office if you think you could help out!

We hope your child enjoys the disco and thank you for your ongoing support with PTFA events in school.

6WL Class Assembly Time Letter

Dear Parents/Carers of Class 6WL,

Your child’s class assembly on Wednesday 5th February.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for changing the time so close to the event; this was unavoidable due to Third Space Learning. Your child’s assembly will now start at 2:00pm and will finish at approximately 2:30pm. Due to the earlier time slot, children will not be allowed to leave school once the assembly is finished.

Thank you for your co-operation and we look forward to seeing you next week.

Yours faithfully,

Miss D Hay
Deputy Headteacher

Calpol Letter

Dear Parents/Carers,

I am writing to clarify our school administration of Calpol to children who are unwell. This is an emergency arrangement and is not meant to be used as an alternative to home medication. School is finding that we are providing Calpol regularly instead of unusually. No child should require pain medication first thing in the morning after being dropped off from home.

We will only administer Calpol to a child who has a new and unexpected complaint, any child who is having to have regular pain killing medication should bring the medication in from home. All medication should be in the original bottle with the child’s name clearly written on the label.

We thank all those families who are trying really hard to make sure their children have good attendance and bring their children to school with minor complaints. We find that children soon forget slight aches and pains when busy with work and playing with their friends.

Thanking you as always for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs M Walsh
Headteacher

Healthy Communications Letter

Dear Parents / Carers,

As part of the Children’s Mental Health Week, we would like to invite you to our Healthy Communications event on Wednesday 5th February 2020 @ 9.00am – 10.00am.

This session will look at strategies to support communication with your children around mental health and wellbeing. Life often throws challenges our way and it’s about finding positive ways to deal with things that might be difficult, overcoming physical and mental challenges and looking after yourself.

Lots of research has been done around talking therapies to help with mental health and wellbeing. So come and learn various ways to communicate with your child to keep the dialogue between you flowing.

It would be great to see you, but as always there is a limited number of places available which will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

Please return the reply slip (attached below) on Monday 3rd February 2020.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs Hyland / Miss McKenna
Family Liaison Officers
