Don’t worry if you have no jeans, you can wear alternative bottom wo go with your school top!
The suggested donation for the charity is £1.
Parents,
Here is a guide to reading at Newport Junior School. It explains how we teach reading and how we encourage children to love reading the books they choose at school.
We ask that children read at home with you at least 3 times a week. Please record this in their Reading Diary. The Guide has suggestions for comments you might record in the Reading Diary. Staff will check the Reading Diary weekly to encourage the children in their reading and celebrate their hard work.
Children should always have a reading book to bring home. If they don’t share this with you, please check their bag and then contact the class teacher as all children should have 2 reading books at all times. (One chosen with help from the teacher and one which is their choice, usually from the library).
A reminder to families who are new to NJS you will have received a letter with your Parent Pay activation information on Friday.
Please can we ask that you activate your account immediately. It’s a really important system we use for school meals, trips and clubs.
We will soon be releasing our club menu for this term and you will not be able to sign up to clubs without a Parent Pay account.
Any queries (or if you didn’t get a letter) please contact njs.admin@taw.org.uk or call 01952 38660.
Thank you for your support.
Dear Parents / Carers,
Please can the school office have forms containing contact details as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Telford and Wrekin Highways took the decision to remove the barrier from outside school and replace it with the pencil bollards over the Summer.
I am aware this morning that some children stepped off the pavement onto the road to allow pedestrians to pass more easily on the pavement.
This clearly presents a risk.
Please can we all work together to ensure that no one has to step off the pavement onto the road. Please talk to your children about the importance of remaining on the pavement (as I have done in assembly today) and be vigilant for keeping each other safe.
Mrs Moody
I have received a complaint from a resident on St Nicholas’ Park that parents/carers were parking on the road this morning. There is now a no parking enforcement on this road from 8am to 5pm. The resident has images of cars parked this morning and can send them to traffic enforcement.
For the safety of our children can we please ask that all parents and carers respect road markings around our school. There should be no parking on double yellow lines and no stopping on the yellow zig zags.
Telford and Wrekin Highways amended road markings on Avenue Road and St Nicholas’ Park over the summer so please do take notice of these. They also removed the previous barrier and replaced it with new bollards.
There is now a no parking restriction on St Nicholas’ Park between 8am and 5pm which I understand to be enforceable. Residents are very likely to report parking in this area between these times, please be aware of this.
We promote walking/scooting/cycling to school as ideal where possible. This is great for the physical health of our children and eases congestion and reduces pollution.
We do understand some families live too far away to walk and in this case we ask that parents/carers use local car parks (Specsavers, Shuker Field, B&M etc.) and walk from there.
We thank you for your support for the safety of our children.
We can tell we are returning to school…. the sun has come out!
With the warm weather set to continue this week please do send your child into school with ample water and a sunhat.
Please apply sun cream before school. You can send additional cream into school for reapplication; the bottle should be named and your child will need to apply this themselves.
Thank you for your support.
