Dear Parents/Carers,
Everything continues to go well in school and the children are
working hard and are clearly glad
to be back with their friends.
It still feels a little strange for everybody and we certainly
miss all the extra activities and
events that we would normally be doing, but fingers crossed we
will slowly be able to start
them all again.
I would like to say a big welcome to Mrs Caroline Ritchie who
joined our staff team this week. I
am sure she will soon feel very at home at Arreton.
We are all getting to grips with the WEDUC communication app and
last week for the first time
we added the newsletter to the newsfeed. We will continue to
send an electronic or paper
copy at the moment but the hope is that eventually we will be
able to just use the Weduc app.
How are you finding the app? If you have any comments about it
and how easy or not you are
finding it to use, please let us know. Hopefully we will be able
to sort any issues.
We still have a few parents who have not signed up to Weduc ,
class Dojo and Tapestry, if you
are having problems doing so or have misplaced the joining
letter please let us know and we
will resend the letters and joining instructions.
Thank you to everybody who has returned their child’s data
collection sheet and Educational
Visit permission letter. If you have not done so could you
please do so by Friday 25th
September.
I know that we are entering cold season and many of you would
normally send your children in
with their own tissues, but could I ask you not to at the
moment. We have plenty of tissues in
school which the children can use. If they use our tissues it
really helps us with the “catch it, bin
it, wash your hands routine.”
Just a reminder that we are having the individual school
photographs taken on Wednesday. I
realise that years 5&6 would normally be in their PE kits on
that day. If you wish your child to
be in their uniform for the photo please send them in their
normal uniform that day. Equally, if
you would like them to have their photo taken in their new PE
shirt please send them in their
PE kits as normal. If you have any questions please contact the
school.
Thank you once again for your patience and co-operation at
drop-off and pick up times. It
seems to run smoothly most days now.
Have a great weekend and see you all on Monday.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Maria Herbert
