Other Business
Medical and other appointments
Prior notice must be given to the school office to avoid disruption to classes and school business. Appointment cards should be shown.

Leave during term time
Leave will not be authorised for holidays/absences taken out of the normal school holidays.

Attendance
If you are late getting up in the morning it is not an excuse keep the children away from school. We would rather the children be late than miss a day of school so please bring them as soon as they have eaten breakfast.

Dinner money
Please remember that dinner money must be paid on a weekly basis. If two weeks have passed without payment you may be asked to provide packed lunches.

Finally
From all the staff of St. John’s, please have a very safe and enjoyable holiday and we will see you back in school on Tuesday 4 September 2012.
