 Library Books/Reading Books – We have a few outstanding library books; please could these be returned to the school office before the end of term.  We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to Mrs Murrell, Mrs Buisson and Mrs Jones who have done a fantastic job running our library.  Also, if there are any reading books at home we would be grateful if these could be returned too. 

Year 2 Leavers Assembly and Lunch – The Year 2 leaver’s assembly will be held on Tuesday 20^th July at 09.30am at The Lee Church.

 Shoe Boxes – Please could you save shoe boxes this summer and send them into school in September for various D.T. projects.

 PE Kit – If your child is leaving the school or has grown out of their current PE kit, please could you send any donations into school? They would be gratefully received – thank you.

 Telephone Tree – Is there anyone who would be able to take over the telephone tree from Mrs Jarvis who has done a wonderful job in the past of keeping this up to date?  Currently the telephone tree is in a MS Excel format but could be changed if you do not use Excel.  Mrs Jarvis would be able to hand over any changes and explain what it involves.  Please contact either Mrs Jarvis direct or the school office.

 Car Parking – We have received a complaint regarding parking on the school zig zag lines.  No one should park, obstruct or drop-off children outside the school gates.  This rule applies to anyone dropping off or collecting children, be it parents, grandparents, nannies, child minders, au pairs or friends.  Please could you make sure that anyone who collects your child is aware of these rules.  They are put in place for the safety of our children and pedestrians.  Thank you for your co-operation.
