Parent/teacher meetings

Thankyou to all for a fantastic turn-out for this term’s parent/teacher meetings. I hope that you found this opportunity useful and helpful. If you missed out on this occasion please call at the school office to make an appointment with your child’s teacher.

Come and meet our new Family Worker

We are fortunate in having the services of a Family Support Worker. She is available to support and help you with anything relating to family support and welfare. If she cannot help personally then she can help to put you in touch with someone who can! Some ideas of how she can help:

• preparing for new-born,
• parenting skills , anger management
• managing money and daily routines
• helping your child with keeping up at school even if times are hard at home
• preventing family breakdown
• improving the quality of life for children and young people
• making a child’s home life more stable
• . . . . and many more! No question for the family worker will sound silly or trivial I assure you.

Lindsey will be available every Monday morning. Tea and Coffee will be available in the school hall from 9am and you are very welcome to call in and have a chat with her even if it is just to say a quick hello so that if you should need any support at a later date you will be a familiar face to her and vice-versa.

School texting facility teachers to parents
Please make sure we have up to two, up-to-date mobile phone numbers as contacts in order that school text messages are received by your selves. I hope that you find this new texting facility helpful. I think it has been invaluable with the emergency school closures in particular. If you have provided us with a mobile number then you should receive official texts from school.

After school Clubs
Our after school clubs are now all back to normal and we have been especially pleased to welcome every week a group of children form Ashfield Valley Primary school who have been joining us for the regular weekly ‘co-co club’ on Tuesday evenings. Congratulations to Ashfield Valley children for excellent participation and behaviour. We look forward to many more joint events.

Family Holidays
Thankyou for only taking family holidays during school holiday time. No family holidays will be authorised during term time. If your child is off school at any time due to illness then please contact the school office first thing to let us know. Many thanks again.

Statement of Belief
Our statement of belief for this week is ‘I know it’s ok to make mistakes’
