Welcome back to you all. I hope you all had a great Summer holiday and are back refreshed and ready for work!
Welcome to all our new pupils and their families—we know that your child will have a happy and productive time at Glade Primary. Please do not hesitate to contact the office staff and class teachers if you have any concerns.
School Dinner Money Increase We have just been informed from the school catering company that the lunch money will increase to £1.95 per day, making a total of £9.75 for the week. This will start after the half term holiday in October. Thank you.
Swimming Reminder—Class 4N Just to remind you that swimming lessons for class 4N start tomorrow afternoon. Please ensure that your child has their swimming kit with them every Friday. If you have not yet paid or returned a permission slip please do so tomorrow morning or else your child will be unable to attend.
Year 6 Trip to Walton-on-Naze This is next Wednesday, 15th September. If you have not yet paid or filled in a permission slip please do so as soon as possible. Also applies to those children in Year 6 who are due to start sailing on Thursday 16th.
Parking You will obviously by now have noticed the new parking restrictions around the school. These have been installed with the safety of the children in mind, please therefore be considerate of these and park accordingly. We have already had complaints about inconsiderate and dangerous parking!
Punctuality and Attendance Please let us get the term off to a good start with all pupils in the playground at 8.50 am each day ready for the bell at 8.55am. I am really disappointed to see families through the gates after 9.00am. Our Education Welfare Officer will be monitoring punctuality and attendance this term and meeting with parents of pupils who are regularly late and poor attenders. Please also collect your children on time at the end of the day.
Class Talks Please come along to your child’s class talk and meet other parents in your child’s year group. The dates for these are as follows:
13th September Y5 in 5F and Y6 in group room
14th September Y4 in group room
15th September Y3 in group room
16th September Y2 in group room
17th September Y1 in group room
Tea and coffee will be provided during these talks.
