World Down Syndrome Day
Members of our school family are welcome to wear odd socks for World Down Syndrome Day on the 21st March (there is no charge for this, it is a date to raise awareness). This is a global awareness day which NJS will be marking with classroom based activities. More information can be found here: https://www.worlddownsyndromeday.org/
Parents Meetings
Parents meetings are taking place next week:
Monday: Year 3
Tuesday: Year 4
Wednesday: Year 5
Thursday: Year 6
As detailed in the letter circulated a couple of weeks ago we have offered Teams meetings/phone calls in the mornings and face to face in the afternoons.
Please understand that appointments are allocated for 10 minutes.
Face to face meetings will be held in the school hall: please come to the security gate and make your way around to the hall to meet your class teacher.
If you wish to take your child home following your appointment please make your way to the office after your appointment and your child will meet you there (we ask that siblings remain in school).
Thank you for your support.
The school day…
Please can we remind parents and carers that the school day at NJS begins at 8.45am. Children who arrive at their gates before this time will not be supervised.
Thank you for your support.

Year 6: SAT Week Breakfast Club
Year 6 parents and carers,
At our recent Year 6 parent workshop we explained that during SAT week we run a very popular breakfast club! Attached to this message is a letter explaining this offer and a paper copy will also be coming home with your child.
Please can you return your child’s slip to school as soon as possible.
Thank you for your support.

Easter Holiday Club
Dear Parents,
I am aware that another holiday club provider who shares the name “Move It” has begun operating within the town. I just wanted to clarify that the provision that I offer is only taking place at Newport Infant School and that the new provision has no connection to my business.
I choose to hold my provision at the Infant School because it offers a secure school site which is familiar to many of the children. All of the facilities are appropriate for primary school age children and as I operate under the conditions of the school lettings policy, I have to meet their stringent Safeguarding procedures and policies. I am fortunate to have had a very positive relationship with the school over many years and we have built up a great deal of trust. I have a loyal, hard-working staff who offer high quality provision.
I did not want anyone to book the new provision thinking that it was part of my business and I hope that you will continue to support me in the future.
Thank you
Beckie Shaw
Please be considerate with your parking…
We have had concerns raised by a neighbour that our parents are parking across resident driveways.
Please can we ask that we are all considerate of our neighbours and do not do this.
As always we ask that if you have to drive to school you park on a local car park (Specsavers, B&M, Shuker Field etc.) and walk from there.
Thank you for your support.
