Many parents have asked how they can
help at this time of year.
You can help by keeping routines:
1. Sending rested children to school. It is a busy time of year and many children are tired.
2. Sending your child's Home/School Folder every day now until the end of the school year. I will be sending things home daily, right up until the last day.
3. Sending back to school library bags and books.
4. Arriving to school on time whenever possible.
School officially starts at 8:35 am.
We start announcements at 8:45 am, thank you!
