URGENT MESSAGE FOR HAZEL PARENTS – UPDATED

Good evening

We have been informed late this evening of a positive test result for a member of Hazel bubble – Miss Moran’s and Mrs Thomas’s class.

Therefore, ALL CHILDREN IN HAZEL BUBBLE MUST NOT ATTEND SCHOOL ON TUESDAY 17TH NOVEMBER as we need to close the bubble whilst we wait to take advice.

Siblings of children in Hazel bubble do not need to stay off school unless the child who is in Hazel bubble displays coronavirus symptoms.

As soon as we have spoken to the DfE and Public Health, when they reopen on Tuesday morning, we will be in touch.

Thank you all for your support.

Mrs Johnson

*Weekly News 13/11/20*

Hello everyone

We have had a wonderful week in school and the children continue to amaze us every day with their resilience.

REMINDER – PLEASE READ 

ACTIONS FOR PARENTS (see Government Guidance updated 12 November 2020)

Do not send your child to their nursery, childminder, school or college if:

Arrange a test if you or your child develops symptoms. Inform your nursery, childminder, school or college of the results.

If the test is positive, follow guidance for households with possible or confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection, and engage with the NHS Test and Trace process.

News from our Governing Body

Please see a newsletter below from our Chair of Governors. Our Governing Body are looking forward to being able to share news with you on a regular basis throughout the year.

Governor Newsletter November 2020

We have one vacancy for a parent governor. Please keep an eye out next week in your child’s bag for a letter about this position.

sQuid bookings

The online childcare booking form will not be used after Friday 20th. The link to book clubs for next week is below.

Childcare booking form 16/11 to 20/11/20

From Monday 23rd November, all bookings for childcare (before and after-school clubs) will need to be booked on sQuid. A letter is being sent home / emailed out next week with instructions on how to do this. In the meantime, take a look under the ‘Bookings’ section in your ‘Trips and Offers’ purse and you will see the sessions ready to be booked.

Sweets Sale on Friday 20th

As FOBS are unable to run their Friday sweet sales at the moment, to raise much-needed funds for school, they have come up with an alternative. On Friday 20th, children can buy a pre-prepared mixed bag of sweets for 50p. (Vegetarian sweets can also be pre-ordered in advance, by emailing school no later than 12:30 pm on Thursday.) The bags of sweets will be sold in each classroom at the end of the afternoon for children to take home.

Children need to bring the correct money in an envelope or clear bag and the monies collected will be passed to the FOBs treasurer the following week. FOBS have also got a PayPal account, which they set up earlier this year to raise funds for our school library. Parents can pay for sweets directly through this account here, to save children having to bring money into school.

Children In Need

Thank you for your donations towards Children In Need. We rasied just over £105.

Harvest donations

Thank you for your generous donations for the Shrewsbury Food Bank, which were delivered to them this week.

Have a good weekend and stay safe.
