Year 3 Parents/Carers drop off and collection

We hope your children have enjoyed their first two days at NJS: they have been great.

*At drop off and collection it helps to ease congestion if you come through the security gate and out through the side gate by Mrs Pearson’s classroom.

*We appreciate for the first day or two you may want to come into school in the morning to help your child to settle.  Please can we ask that parents/carers now refrain from coming into school as our corridors get very congested.  There will be staff outside to greet the children and take any messages and staff inside to support the children to unpack.  3L and 3B can go straight into their classroom doors and 3P can go straight into the accessible door on the side of the block (they can press the push pad to open this door).

Thank you for your support.

Mobile Phones

Mobile-Phones-Policy

Please find attached our Mobile Phone Policy.

If your child brings their mobile to school:

*They must turn it off as soon as they are on school site and keep it off until they are off school site.

*The phone must be handed to the class teacher as soon as they enter the classroom to be stored for the day.

*Mobile phones should have the child’s name clearly displayed on the exterior case.

*Mobile phones brought into school are done so at your own risk: we can not take responsibility.

Swimming this half term…

Swimming will resume from Monday 12th September:

Monday’s: Year 3

Tuesday’s: Year 6

After October half term Years 4 and 5 will swim weekly.

Please remember that on your child’s swimming day we ask that they bring a towel, swimming costume/trunks. a swimming hat and goggles.  Please name these items to help us!

PE Kit Reminder

Just a reminder that we ask that PE kits are brought into school on a Monday and then children will bring them home on a Friday.  They can be stored in your child’s locker.

Healthy Snacks

Please remember that Key Stage 2 are not funded to provide children with a breaktime snack therefore you may wish to send your child with a snack they can have at morning break.

We ask that this is fruit, vegetable or bread based snack.  No chocolate, crisps, sweets or cereal bars.

Parent Pay

Families with children in Years 4, 5 and 6: your Parent Pay account will continue with your current log in and settings.  Please continue to use this during this academic year to pay for school meals, visits etc.

Families with children in Year 3 and children new to NJS: once your child is on roll we have to await for electronic files to transfer.  Once this is complete we will write to you with your ParentPay details so that you can pay for meals, trips etc. online.  Please give us a few days to complete this and we will email to notify you that the letter has been sent home with your child.  In the meantime your child can of course have a school meal: the balance will appear on your ParentPay account once you receive your log in.

School Meals

Please find attached a reminder of our school meal menu which runs until April 2023. Newport Juniors_Primary School Menu 2022 inner DIGI

Telford and Wrekin School Meal Service will no longer accept cash payment for school meals so all payments will need to be made on Parent Pay (unless you are in receipt of Free School Meals).

Children can order a hot meal on the day.  Grab and Go (sandwich option) must be ordered by the week before and the order forms can be found below and emailed to lynne.stanley@taw.org.uk or handed into the class teacher: grab and go Autumn
