Jeans for Genes: Friday 18th September

Annually NJS shows its support for children and adults with genetic disorders by supporting the Jeans for Genes fundraising event.  More information can be found in this leaflet (your child may like to read this too):

Jeans for Genes

On Friday 18th September children are invited to come into school in their own clothes.  Ideally they will wear a pair of jeans or a denim item to acknowledge the cause although this isn’t essential.

Donations (we suggest £1) will be collected and sent into the charity.  Boxes will be placed in classrooms for children to drop their donation into on arrival at school.

Thank you for your support.

PTA AGM

PTA AGM Thurs 17th Sept 8pm online meeting. 

The PTA would like to welcome everyone back to school and to invite you along to our first online meeting. 

If you would like to attend the meeting please email us at njs.pts@taw.org.uk and we’ll send you the login details. 

We will continue to keep you update with any new information via facebook page ‘newportjuniorschoolpta’. 

Thankyou.

 

IMPORTANT COVID UPDATE

I have been advised that there has been communication with others incorrectly that we have a confirmed case of COVID at NJS.  Please can I clarify that this is incorrect: NJS does NOT have a confirmed positive case of COVID.

IF we did have you would hear this information from ourselves.

 

Contact Forms: URGENT

If you have not yet returned your contact form to the school office please can you do so as soon as possible.

It is really important that we have up to date information from our families.

Year 3 parents and carers please can you also ensure you return the allergy form that was posted in your new starter pack.

ALL PARENTS AND CARERS PLEASE NOTE THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSBILITY TO ADVISE THE SCHOOL IF PERSONAL DETAILS OR MEDICAL INFORMATION NEEDS AMENDING FOR YOUR CHILD WITHIN THE ACADEMIC YEAR.

Emails

A couple of parents have queried with me how often teachers will check their emails hopeful for an immediate reply.  I hope you appreciate that teachers will prioritise their teaching and the care of the children during the school day and their own families and wellbeing in an evening.

Teachers will check their emails daily and respond as soon as they are able.  We welcome your communication and want to work with you, as we develop new ways of working we just ask for your support.

Please also be mindful some staff (including myself working a 0.8 week) are not full time: again we will respond as soon as we are able or ask a colleague to contact you.

If your query is urgent and you need a quick response we recommend telephoning between 8.30 and 3.30pm.

We thank you all for your ongoing support and work in partnership.
