PARKING We have received numerous complaints from members of the public regarding the irresponsible behaviour of parents when they are dropping off/collecting their children from school. Some of the reports relate to similar incidents where parents have stopped their car in the middle of the busy main road where very young children have let themselves out of the vehicle without checking for traffic and running across the road. I am appalled that parents have so little regard for the safety of their children and hope that we have no further incidents such as these reported to us. I am well aware that we all lead very busy lives but please do not let negligence result in the serious injury of a child.

If you have not signed your Parent E-Safety Agreement please send this in to your class teacher to allow your child to access Fronter in and out of school by the end of this week at the very latest. Any queries regarding the agreement can be forwarded to Samina.

A Headteachers Award was received by Aafia Naweed (5G) for excellent effort in her homework. Safa Chowdhury (2B) also received a Headteachers award for fantastic story writing!
Well done to all of you!.
Snow Update Thank you for bearing with us for the recent changes to the school day that have had to be implemented for safety reasons. The car park was a major hazard due to ice and had to be closed. I would ask the “grumpy” parents to show more consideration for safety than their own needs.
School Telephone System This issue has been a nightmare to resolve and the saga continues. Please be reassured that the school is doing everything we can to sort it out. The snow has not helped as the delivery of the faulty part has been delayed.

Parking We have received complaints from drivers who have witnessed parents crossing dangerously with their children. Please remember to use the traffic island when crossing The Drive and do not attempt to cross behind parked cars where you are obscured from other road users.
A Reminder Please ensure that your child is appropriately dressed in the cold weather. Children need to come to school in warm coats, hats and gloves. It is extremely cold. Please also be aware that whilst every effort is made to grit the site, the low temperatures are causing ice patches soon after. Please take care.
Fronter This exciting provision will be launched for the children soon. Can I remind you to make sure you sign and return your E-Safety agreement form as soon as possible. Please check the newsletter for regular Fronter updates.

Thurs 17th Jan Year 1
Fri 18th Jan Reception
School Telephone System I am aware that the school has sent out group texts to inform parents/carers that there has been a fault with the line which is preventing us from receiving any calls. This matter is in hand and we hope to have it rectified by Friday. In the meantime, I would urge you to use the school email (admin.cranbrookprimary@redbridge.gov.uk) in emergencies, as we are checking these regularly throughout the day.

Colour Assemblies There will be no colour assemblies this week due to class information sessions running in the main hall.
Open School All parents will have the opportunity to come into school on Tuesday 22nd January from 3.30 to 4.15pm to view your child’s books with him/her and find out what targets he/she is working on. I hope that you can make this event.
Year 4 Cake Sale A cake sale will be held by Year 4 pupils on Thursday 24th January after school. All funds raised will go towards purchasing equipment for the school.
School Office The admin team have raised a concern regarding a number of parents who regularly bring their child’s packed lunch into school late. This means that office staff have to constantly take these to classes throughout the morning. I would ask these “regular” parents to ensure that the packed lunch is prepared before school and sent in with your child.
A Reminder Please ensure that your child is appropriately dressed in the cold weather. Children need to come to school in warm coats, hats and gloves. It is extremely cold. Please also be aware that whilst every effort is made to grit the site, the low temperatures are causing ice patches soon after. Please take care.
Medication Please can you ensure that your child’s medication (i.e. asthma pumps and epi-pens) are routinely replaced when the date has expired on it. It is your responsibility to ensure that the school has the correct medication should it be necessary to administer it.
Fronter It is an exciting time for our school as we approach the launch of Fronter. Your child will be soon provided with their personal Login to the system. We first need you to sign the E-Safety Agreement for parents which will be sent to you today. Please look out for the agreement, sign and return it no later than Monday 21st January 2013. Thank you Samina.
RE Resources We really need to build up our classroom resources for Religious Education. If you have any items to donate to the school such as books, cloth, candles or pictures please bring them in. There will be a box in the office marked RE donations. All donations will be gratefully received.
