Ice Cream Treat!
We enjoyed a surprise visit from Petes Ice Cream this week!
We’ll Miss You xx
Miss Jenkins leaves us today and the NJS family are going to miss her loads. Miss Jenkins completed part of her teacher training with us some years ago and returned in September to cover maternity leave for Miss Jones. We have thoroughly enjoyed having her back in school and 4J have had a great year in her care. Miss Jenkins we will miss you and wish you the best of luck for your new position.
Mrs Naylor also leaves us today; she has worked with us for many years as a Teaching Assistant and this year completed her Teacher Training with her final placement at NJS. Huge congratulations to Mrs Naylor on qualifying and best wishes for your career.
Uniform Reminder!
A useful reminder of our uniform policy ahead of September:
Term Dates
Please note that children return to school on Wednesday 7th September.
Children should arrive at school between 8.45am and 8.55am, collection from NJS is between 3.15pm and 3.25pm.
Year 3: through the Security Gate in front of the office
Year 4 and 5: on the main playground, through the black gates next to Avenue Road South
Year 6: through the gate opposite One Dental
REMEMBER: If you have siblings you are welcome to drop off and collect from the gate that suits you best: just make sure your children know where to meet you. We usually suggest it works better if your older child goes to your younger child’s gate!
The advice is also that parents/carers with children at both NJS and Newport Infants drop off with us first in the morning and collect from us last in the afternoon. We will always happily take good care of your children until you arrive.
Please ensure that you are familiar with our term dates for 22-23 which can be found here: https://newportjuniorschool.org.uk/home/joining/term-dates/
Thank You from Mrs M x
