Dear Parents, Carers, Pupils and Friends

DATE: 10th October 2014

Wednesday 22nd October is the Halloween disco for KS1 and KS2.

KS1 disco will be held during school time in the afternoon. Please can

children bring a £1 into school on the day. They will get a goodie bag

at the disco with a drink, crisps, cup cake and sweets. Pupils need to

bring any costume, or change of clothes, into school (to be hung on their coat peg during the day).

KS2 disco is between 3.30pm and 4.30pm. Tickets are priced at £1 and will include a free drink, crisps and

sweets. Pupils need to bring any costume, or change of clothes, into school (to be hung on their coat peg

during the day). Tickets are on sale from Friday morning break. Pupils may wish to bring spending money

to purchase sweets and hot dogs. Please provide this in a named purse or envelope. Any money will be col-

lected in and kept in a safe place until the disco commences. Any child not participating in the disco should

be collected at home time in the usual way.

Parents are requested to wait just outside school at the main entrance, when at the end of the disco they

will be invited in to collect their child from their usual classroom. Pupils will not be allowed to walk home

unaccompanied.

We would like to thank the parents and staff who are members of the Friends of Parkhead team for their

support and help. We would be grateful if anyone can volunteer help for these types of events and if you

are interested please contact us at school.

KEY STAGE ONE

Please can you ensure that you drop

off your children at the KS1 main

door adjacent to the yard and pick

up from the yard on an evening.

Please understand we cannot allow

parents to come into school on a

morning when the children are

hanging coats up etc as this isn't in

line with the safeguarding policy.

Any messages can be passed to

staff on the door who will inform

the class teacher. If you urgently

need to speak to the teacher this

can be arranged.
