ATTENDANCECongratulations to WHITE CLASS for winning the “Best in School” attendance award with 98%attendance! The whole class will be rewarded with a visit to TOCKs club.Overall school attendance went down slightly last week and is now 93.5%. Our target is 95%, soplease help the school to reach this target by attending school every day. You can check yourclass’s attendance levels on the school website.

HOLIDAYS DURING TERM TIMEPlease remember that until the end of this academic year, holidays in term time can only be

authorised if your child has over 95% attendance. From September, no requests for holidays canbe authorised at all, except in exceptional circumstances for which written evidence must beprovided.Fixed penalty notices will be issued if unauthorised holidays are taken in term time.

ABSENCE DUE TO ILLNESSPlease remember to phone in as early as possible on 321914 and leave a message ifyour child is going to be absent due to illness.

PARKING ON GRESLEY ROAD

We have had a phone call from a resident saying that tenants who live in thebungalows on Gresley Road are having problems with parents parking at pick upand drop off times. This is causing access problems for mobility scooters and couldpotentially be dangerous should one of the residents need an ambulance in anemergency. Please, if you bring your children by car, make sure you park in aresponsible manner with regard to our neighbours. Many thanks.

CROSSING LITTLEMOOR LANE AND PARKINGWe now have a Crossing Patrol Warden, so please impress on your children that they shoulduse the warden when they try to cross the road. Again we are asking that you park

sensitively when you bring and collect your children, bearing in mind not blocking ourneighbours’ drives or double parking and causing problems for children trying to cross theroads. Additionally, please do not park ON the pavement, as buggies and wheelchairsneed the space on the footpath, as well as it being dangerous for children if you try to drive onthe path. Thank you for your co-operation.

HOT WEATHER - HATS, WATER BOTTLES AND SUN CREAMPlease remember to send your child with a hat for the sun, and a water bottlenow the hot weather has decided to come back. Wide necked bottles can befilled from the water coolers in school. Please remember to put your child’sname in the hat. Also, putting sun cream on your child before they leave home

the morning would be a good idea if you feel they need it. Boots currently have ahalf-price offer on their Soltan 8-hour sun cream. It is called ‘Once – kids 8 hour play sun cream’, which is

SPF Factor 50+ and protects against UVB rays. Thank you. UPDATE TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS AND ADDRESSES 

We are experiencing difficulties at the moment contacting parents when theirchild is ill, or left behind from an after-school club or activity. Please makesure, if you change your mobile number, or even move house, that youlet school know. Thank you.
