Important Message:
Please can we ask that all parents sign up to ParentMail before September.
All newsletters/music & club letters/trip letters/forms etc will come via ParentMail from September and not from the school email account or as a hardcopy.
· You should have received an email or text from ParentMail asking you to register – if you haven’t please let the office know.
· Please register both your email address and a mobile number on the system – but you only have to register once (either via the email or the text link).
· There is no limit on the number of parents that can register, so it does not have to be just one per family. But please be aware if 2 parents register (with different email addresses) then both will receive emailed letters.
· It is important that every family has mobile numbers registered on the system which we will be using to send texts for urgent items (usually) ie school emergency closures, clubs cancelled (this will be specific to the clubs your child is signed up to) etc. We will only be sending these urgent texts to the parent who is registered as Priority 1 on our system (as per the data sheets parents sign each year). If you have no mobile phone these urgent messages will be sent via email.
Technical Problems
If you have any technical problems with registering please contact ParentMail directly parent_support@parentmail.co.uk as the school will not be able to help on technical issues.
Please be aware that they are busy as they have many new schools to deal with at this time of year, and may take a few days to respond.
FOR THE SUMMER …..
SUMMER READING CHALLENGE AT THE LIBRARY – Record Breakers
The Summer Reading Challenge is free and fun. It is designed to have maximum child appeal and is highly motivating. It is not a competition but a personal challenge within a particular time frame which offers reading inspiration and incentives to encourage children into libraries.
How the Challenge works:
Children sign up at their local library; Children read six books of their choice over the summer holidays, collecting stickers and incentives along the way; Library staff are on hand to advise and run family-friendly activities; Children who complete the Challenge are presented with a certificate and medal. For more info: http://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/
The last day of term is this Wednesday 22 July.
The children return to school on Thursday 3 September.
May I take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and relaxing
Mrs H Picton, Headteacher
