Reporting Absences From 10th November 2014, we will be introducing a new way in which parents/carers can report their child’s absences. Parents/carers should send their messages on 07860004994. Please note this number is only used for reporting absences and not to be used for general messages. Absences must be reported on the morning of the first day of absence.
 
I would like to remind parents that if your child has 12 sessions of unauthorised absence recorded throughout the half term period, the Local Authority will issue you with a penalty notice.

Parents Evening Please remember to send in your reply slip for Parents Evening, so that teachers can allocate time slots.
 
Colour Assemblies will be cancelled this week, as the hall is being used for the Year 3 Diwali Performance.
 
Poppies for sale Once again as a lead up to Remembrance Day next week, poppies will be on sale each day. Children are invited to bring in donations for a poppy.

Sensible Shoes/Coats Now that autumn has truly set in, please ensure that your child brings a coat to school every day, as all children do go out for play and lunchtimes daily. Please also ensure that sensible shoes or trainers are worn to school.
 
Paperless Newsletter/Homework As mentioned previously, we will stop sending paper copies out after half term, (from November). Please remember, if you still want a paper copy of the newsletter, you may collect one from the school office.
 
Sibling Photographs All children should be in full school uniform for the photographs.
 
Cranbrook Friends Association (CFA) The next meeting will be held on Wednesday 12th November at 9.30am in the small hall. All parents welcome.
 
Children In Need Next Friday, all children are invited to come in non-uniform dressed as ‘super heroes’ and donate money for Children In Need. Pizzas and samosas will also be on sale at the end of the day. All money raised will be going to the charity. In addition a limited number of Year 5 pupils will be staying over for a sleepover in the hall and donating money for this cause. There are a few spaces still remaining. Please let the office have your child’s name by Thursday if you are interested. Please help us beat our record of £3000 from last year.
 
Reception Admissions 2015 If your child’s birthday is between 1st September 2010 and 31st August 2011, you can now apply online for a primary school place by visiting the Redbridge website www.redbridge.gov.uk and use the link to eAdmissions. If you are not a Redbridge resident you will need to apply via your own Council (even for a Redbridge school).The deadline for online applications is Thursday 15th January 2015 at 11.59pm. Please note, you will only be allocated a place if your child meets the admissions criteria. Please read it carefully.
 
School Dinner Reminder Can I urge all parents to pay their child’s outstanding dinner money arrears by the end of this week. Also may I remind you that all dinner money from next half term needs to pay in advance, before your child has a school meal. Payments are £2 per day or £10 per week. 
It is parents/carers responsibility to clearly mark dinner money with child’s name, class and amount they are sending into school in a sealed envelope.
Online payments can be made on:
