Head Lice We have had several parents inform us that their child has headlice. Please check your children’s hair and treat accordingly. Grade 6 TShirts There are some very excited kids in Grade 6 today... The tops have arrived!! Massive thanks to Jodee for spending hours organising them and to Laser Signs & Print for sorting them out for us. After School Arrangements Can we please ask a favour that you organise and tell your child where they are being picked up before you drop them off in the morning – this alleviates stress to the kids but it also helps us in trying to get messages to kids. This can cause a lot of disruptions to other children’s learning if messages go over the PA system or staff having to make sure they check their yammer regularly during teaching time. We do understand things change and it is out of your control but if you could please try with this we would really appreciate it.
