Lunchtime Supervisor Vacancy

Parking
We have received a letter from Newport Royal British Legion asking us to inform parents and carers that it is not acceptable for them to park there for school drop off and pick up.
We appreciate all the parents and carers who are finding alternative parking arrangements and continue to recommend the town centre car parks and Shuker Field Car Park if you need to park and walk.
Thank you for your support.
Thank you Jupiter Marketing!
Jupiter Marketing have kindly donated Cathedral City Cheddar to school today. All children will be coming home with some cheese!
They have been asked not to eat it until they get home.
Panto Payment!
Thank you to those families who have sent payment in today: we really appreciate it.
We still have a number of children who have not sent a contribution: school would really appreciate your support if you can send something in.
Thank you.
Pantomime Payment
Almost half of the children who have returned permission slips and are going to the pantomime this week have not sent a monetary contribution. This will mean that NJS incurs significant costs for this trip.
Please can we ask for your support in sending in a contribution for this visit. The cost was £16 per child.
We are considering whether to run this trip in future years due to the cost to school for this weeks visit.
Thank you in advance of your support.
Competition!
At Lets Dine we are always working towards providing healthy meal choices, supporting the reduction of obesity in schools and supporting schools with their universal infant free school meal uptake as it’s a free meal. To promote this work we are launching a school meals competition. All pupils in Reception to Year 6 classes (key stage 1and 2 only) which are catered by Let’s Dine are eligible to enter whether they are paid or free meals.
To enter the competition pupils will need to have a school meal (hot or cold) for 40 days between 13 January 2020 and 27 March 2020.
Prizes include:
- 2 iPads
- 2 family pantomime tickets
- a family ice hockey ticket
- a hamper
- a skiing party ticket
- a family foot golf/driving range ticket
- 4 Sky Reach tickets
- a book voucher
- 2 Area 51 tickets.
Prizes will be randomly drawn. Winners will be invited to a prize drawing event where prizes will be drawn at random. The school where the lucky winner attends will receive a free Eatwell session (a session where 8 children prepare fresh ingredients, make a dish using those ingredients and eat what they have made).
Entries will be recorded on a cashless system against pupil’s accounts when they have a meal. At the end of the competition the system will produce a list of pupil’s names who have had 40 or more school meals. These names will be entered in a random name generator.
Those schools that do not have a cashless system will be collated at site and the names added to the final list.
To enter the competition and for a chance to win an iPad entrants will need to have a school meal (hot or cold) for 40 days between 13 January 2020 and 27 March 2020.
