25th April

Dear Parent/Carer,

Welcome back to you all. We look forward to an exciting spring of learning in St. Joseph’s.

Attendance – A Reminder

As you know good attendance is the key to successful learning.

If your child needs to see the Doctor, Dentist or other for a medical reason, and an appointment outside school hours is not possible, it is far less disruptive to learning if these appointments are made for the end of the school day.

We would like to thank parents for your support in this important area.

Jewellery

Children should not wear jewellery to school. The school will not be responsible
for any loss or damage to property or person resulting from the bringing of
jewellery into school. Please note: children with pierced ears whose parents
wish them to wear earrings must, for safety wear studs rather than other types
of earrings. Children who wear earrings must remove (or tape) them for all PE and sporting activities on Health and Safety grounds.

Netball

Netball resumes next Monday, 28th April.

Postponed School Trips

The final closing date for these educational visits is today. Hopefully we will have
secured the majority of funding so that the visits can go ahead as planned.

Parents to support children reading for KS2 SATs

We are in need of readers to support some of our Y6 pupils when taking their SATs
on the following dates; Monday 12th May, Thursday 15th May, Friday 16th May.

This support would be incredibly helpful. Please contact the school office or see Mrs. Joseph or Mr. Conlon if you can help (by early next week if possible).
