16th March 2011 Newsletter No 48

Punctuality I would like to begin by thanking all parents who regularly bring their children to school on time and daily. However, for those who don’t, please help us by ensuring that all children are in the playground by 8.50am each morning. As registers close at 9.05am, it is very important that children go in with their class line, so that they are entered in the register. At 9.05am promptly, all playground doors will be closed. After this time, all children need to be taken to the office for registration for health and safety reasons, so that there is a record of their arrival at school. In addition, the Education Welfare Officer will regularly monitor late arrivals and meet with parents who are persistently late. Please note you can be fined for being persistently late.
