Weekly news 09/10/2020

Hello everyone

We hope you are all keeping healthy and staying safe.

Important message from Bicton Governors and Staff

We are doing everything possible to keep everyone in our school community safe and well and we thank you for your support in following our protective measures.

From Monday 12th October, we are asking all adults getting out of their vehicles on our school site, particularly at drop off and pick up times, to WEAR A FACE COVERING / MASK. 

Please remember that only one adult should be getting out of your vehicle and children should not be allowed to run around whilst waiting to go in / waiting for siblings to go in or come out at the end of the day. This is to keep you and others safe and we need everyone to respect this.

Please support us in adhering to these requests so that we can keep all of our families and staff safe and healthy, which will ultimately allow us to keep all of our children in school for as long as possible.

Thank you from Mrs Johnson, Staff and Governors

Remember…

sQuid payments

Thank you for the fantastic response to sQuid following the registration letters being sent out on Wednesday.

As we said in the registration letter, the system is not going live until Monday 2nd November. This is so that all parents have chance to register and to allow Shire Services to transfer any credits across to parents’ sQuid accounts.

If you have already paid money into your sQuid ‘catering purse’:

  • it cannot be used to pay for school dinners before the system goes live on 2nd November – you will still need to send dinner money in as normal
  • it cannot be transferred to your sQuid ‘trips and offers purse’
  • you need to email sQuid directly from the website/App as we do not have authority to move your funds from one purse to another.

The weekly online form to book clubs will still be used for all clubs bookings until half term. We will let you know in due course how to book clubs for 2nd November onwards.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs Neal in the school office.

Thanks for your support.

*PLEASE READ* Remote learning provision

We are sure you are probably aware that there have been a number of cases of COVID-19 in Shropshire schools over the past couple of weeks. This has required children and staff from these schools to self-isolate and remain at home.

Next week we will be sending out a parent factsheet and our Remote Learning Policy. These will explain our expectations, how we will be supporting your child, and what we need you to do, if your child has to self-isolate and learn remotely from home.

In the meantime, we need to know as soon as possible what access your child has to a device at home e.g. laptop or tablet.  Please complete the survey below as soon as possible and no later than Tuesday 6th October.

Devices for remote learning survey

More details on how we will be providing remote education will follow next week.

Please do not be alarmed by this request and worry that we are contacting you because we are expecting something to happen next week. We are just trying to make sure that our famlies and staff are as best prepared as they possibly can be, in the event of us having to send a group of children home to self-isolate or if there is a local lockdown.

Thank you in advance for your support and please stay safe.

Mrs Johnson and staff

Weekly News 02.10.2020

Hello everyone

We are grateful to everyone who has responded to our reminders in last Friday’s weekly news. It is vital that all parents and adults coming onto our school site socially distance and adhere to our safety measures. This will hopefully keep us all safe for as long as possible.

Flu immunisations

Thankfully the Immunisation Team were able to get to us this afternoon! We would just like to say well done to all the children who were involved.

Bus lane – NO Parking

Just a reminder that parking is not permitted in the bus lane outside school at the start or end of the school day. Thank you

sQuid 

You should all have received your sQuid welcome letter this week. Parents’ individual registration details will be sent out early next week.

Clubs 

The link to the clubs booking form for the week commencing Monday 12th October is below. All outstanding fees must be paid on Monday 5th October and we ask that you do not book a place at after-school club unless you need your child to attend.

Clubs booking form 12/10/20 – 16/10/20

I hope you all have a safe and restful weekend.

Flu Vaccination

Unfortunately the Immunisation Team were unable to get to our school today. Mrs Johnson is very sorry about this, and will be speaking to them regarding the inconvenience and disruption this has caused.

The nursing team have said they will be with us tomorrow, Friday 2nd October, to give the vaccination.
