Dear Families,
WELCOME to what we know will be a
WONDERFUL school year!
Communication
Our
school has a paperless communication system via Google+. If you are not a
member of Google+, please contact us or Steve Whitehead. We will also be using
other forms of online communication, which will include online student journals
and private messaging options. More information will be provided on the
acquaintance night in week 3. Throughout the year, we share a large amount of
information via both systems that are not available in any other format. You may
contact your teacher via the following methods: a personal post on Google +, phone
call or email and we will respond as soon as we can.
Take Home Folder
Each
day your child will bring home their Take
Home Folder (blue pouch). Your child’s folder will contain reading
materials, important notices and any required home learning. Your child is
responsible for returning any permission notices from their home folder. Please
remind them if there is something to give to their class teacher. Any cash
payments are required to be paid at the finance office.
Healthy
Snack
Children in Year 2 can nibble on
their healthy snack at any time, as long as it does not disrupt their lessons. This
will usually occur during the morning. Only nutritional foods that are raw, clean
and easy to nibble on such as fruit and veggies. Please no sweets, sandwiches
etc for snack time. Children will be able to keep their own drink bottle in the
classroom. Water only, not
juice or cordial.
Nuts
Ardtornish
Primary School is a nut aware school. Please do not send any nuts or nut
products to school.
School Times
The
school day starts at 8:50am
and ends at 3:15pm.
Junior
primary students who arrive between 8:35am and 8:50am will be supervised in the
junior primary yard only.
They
can leave their school bag by their classroom if the door is locked but then
must go straight to the JP playground as this is the area with teacher
supervision.
At
8:50am, students will line up outside their classroom This is the time for
parents/caregivers to say goodbye to their child before they enter the
classroom as we will be encouraging all students to independently prepare for
the day and be ready to start learning at 8:55am.
Where
possible please use Google+, online communication or call the office for any
day to day morning communication.
If your child arrives after
9.00am you must report to the front office before coming to class.
Clothing
All
students are expected to be in full uniform every day. Please clearly label all
clothing and hats so we can find the rightful owner. Please be aware that your
child will need their hats each day in term one as our school has no hat – no
play policy. PE day is Tuesday for both Rooms 29 and 27. Please ensure your
child has appropriate footwear on this day.
Library borrowing/returns
Room
27 and 29 will have 2 library times per week on Tuesdays and Fridays. Please
place any books to be returned in their take home folders.
Volunteers
Volunteers are an important part
of our class learning. Volunteers will be sought after student routines are in
place.
