PARKING OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL
Parents are reminded to use the designated parking bays when dropping and fetching children and not to block the flow of traffic by stopping in the road. Please also exercise extreme caution when reversing out. Please also take note of the Scholar Patrol lines as that is where all children should cross the road.
MESSAGES
As we do not have an intercom system, it is difficult to get late messages to the children before they go home in the afternoon. Could parents please ensure that, before leaving your child at school, they know where and who will be collecting them after school. Please also ensure that your child has a phone card. These are available from the office for R25.
HOME TIME
It is requested that parents do not wait outside their children’s classroom at home time as this disturbs the classes. Please meet your child at a pre-arranged place on the school grounds. The gates will only be opened at 12:50.
WAITING CLASS
All grade 1 – 3 learners are to go to waiting class if they are not fetched at 13:00. Waiting class runs from 13:00 to 13:30. No children will be allowed to wait at the gate during this time.
CLOTHING
Learners are requested not to share or lend out uniform items especially costumes. All children are to have their own PE clothes, costumes, swimming caps, towels and caps/hats.
Please ensure that all your child’s school clothing is marked. Lost property can be found in the two bins behind the Junior bathrooms or in the aftercare room.
NOTE: there are LOTS of items that are marked in the lost property bins.... please go check if your child's stuff is there.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
All learners will be allowed to wear the correct PE uniform to school instead of their school uniform ONLY on the day they have PE. This is to reduce the time spent on getting dressed and to minimize the opportunity for clothing to go missing.
MONIES SENT TO SCHOOL
The office unfortunately does not keep change. All monies sent to school must be sent in a sealed envelope, clearly marked with your child’s name, class, what it is for and the amount.
MEDICATION
Parents are requested to please keep teachers and office staff informed about your child’s allergies or relevant medication that may be need. Children with severe allergies should keep medication in class or in their bags, eg epipens and asthma pumps. Alternatively your child’s medication can be kept in the office. It should be clearly marked with your child’s name and instructions on dosage. This could make a huge difference when a problem arises.
