Some reminders As of next week the EY day is from 8:30am-1:50pm for all classes. Any parents who

wish to pick up their child early on a regular basis should talk directly to their homeroom teacher

The Central Area is not available for playing in before and after school. Children may play on the playground with supervision from parents or nannies but please do not use movable equipment such as bikes, blocks and water toys. The bookroom is also available but no food or drink is to be taken in and an adult must be supervising

When going to homeroom classes there will be some more information given by your teacher for the whole parent group. If you wish to have an individual conference about your child you need to make an appointment. This evening is not an appropriate time for such conferences

Parent coffee morning this Friday at 8:30am all EY parents invited!
