Letter to all parents - Bank Holiday and Lunch choices!

28 August 2020

Dear parent/guardian,

 

Welcome back to school

Well done to all our pupils for adapting to a new way of life in school. They have all been amazing! A special mention to all our Nursery and Primary 1 pupils who have been so brave and who have settled in so well. They are all superstars! 

Many thanks to our parents/carers for your cooperation at drop off and pickup times. Please note that we would discourage the use of the activity trail at drop off and pick up times as pupils from different class bubbles would be mixing. We are trying our best in school to keep each class as a protective bubble whilst inside school. We hope to continue to use the activity trial in school but it would only be pupils in the same class bubble using it at any one time. Many thanks for your cooperation in this matter.

We have contacted a number of families yesterday whose Free School Meals entitlement has not yet come through. If you wish to purchase a packed lunch for your child, please bring in £2.60 in a marked envelope.

Thank you to all!

It was great to see all our pupils back in school and settling in so well into the new routines. Thank you to our parents/carers for all your cooperation and support as we adapt to new school routines. Many thanks to members of our Board of Governors, volunteers from Portstewart Baptist Church and our caretaker Mr Cutler who acted as marshals to direct families to the correct doors over the last couple of days. Also many thanks to all our dedicated teaching and non-teaching staff for all their continued efforts to make the return to school both safe, fun and enjoyable.  

Have a lovely long weekend everyone!

 

Your faithfully,

Mrs K Taylor
