Year 3 and new parents/carers

Again we apologise for the delay, we had hoped to have ParentPay activation letters with you now however we are now looking like mid next week before the accounts will be ready.  Trust us we are chasing!

Please be reassured that clubs and residentials will not go onto ParentPay until 24hrs+ after you have received your activation letter and had the opportunity to set up your account.  We will of course email to let you know when activation letters are out and when clubs/residentials will go live.

We are mindful dinner arrears may be building for some of you: we apologise for this.  Please be assured this will not stop your child having a meal in the meantime.

Year 4, 5 and 6 Parents

Your ParentPay will not have updated to your child’s new class yet.  Please support us whilst we wait for ParentPay to do their background work.

We appreciate your support.

The Jeans for Genes campaign raises awareness of the daily challenges faced by those living with a genetic condition and raises money to fund projects that make a tangible difference to the lives of those affected.

NJS annually shows it’s value of Compassion for this cause.  Children are invited to attend school in bottoms that are ideally denim (any colour denim!) but don’t worry if you don’t have anything… perhaps something blue?  Children can bring a donation for the cause, we suggest £1 but whatever you can afford is more than fine.

We just wanted to make families aware that when children have packed lunches lunchtime supervisors will ask the children to bring their rubbish home.  This is mainly so you as parents/carers can see exactly what your child has and has not eaten from what you have packed.

You can find lots of useful advice online about healthy packed lunches.  This NHS site is especially useful: https://www.nhs.uk/healthier-families/recipes/healthier-lunchboxes/

We LOVE rocksteady at NJS and have witnessed some brilliant concerts over the years. If your child is interested in playing an instrument within a band then have a look at their website below…

Remember… if your children have examples of ‘Values in Action’ please do email them to nicola.moody@taw.org.uk
