Newsletter No: 4 Date: 23 September 2008 MEET THE HEADTEACHER When I started at Broad Oak Primary School, I held a short ?Meet the new Headteacher? meeting for parents on the 2nd September. However, at that stage in the term, our Reception children had not yet started school. I am therefore planning to hold another such meeting in the school hall on Monday 29th September at 9.00am. The meeting should last no longer than 15 minutes and is for anyone who can attend!! It will follow the same format as last time (and probably the same jokes) so, although you are more than welcome to come again, you won?t hear anything new if you attended on the 2nd. See you there!! DROP OFF TIME Could I remind you that the children are not supposed to be dropped off at school before 8.45am, as there is no teacher on duty to ensure that they are safe. If your child / children need to be dropped off before 8.45am you could always use our Early Drop Off facility. Children can be dropped off from 8.30am onwards, and the children are supervised until the beginning of the school day. It is £1.10 per session. Don?t forget, we also have a Breakfast Club where the children can be dropped off as early as 8.00am. This is priced at £2.30 per session, and the children receive a breakfast. BUG BUSTING WEEK Are you Bug Busting? Hopefully you received a yellow Bug Busting comb on Friday in your child?s book bag. Please check your child?s/children?s hair everyday this week and sign the form. When it is completed ? send it in to school (no later than next Wednesday 1st October) and we will then reward the children!! EARLY REMINDERS Two dates for your diary for next week ? both happening on Wednesday October 1st: Family and Individual school photographs - if you would like your pre-school child in the children?s family photo, please bring them into the hall between 8.45 and 9.00am. Book fair starts (3.15pm) Once again, well done to all the children that sat on Mr. Smith?s bench in Praise Assembly, They were: Reception Ben Hopkins Year 1 Leah Beattie Year 2 Abigail Shipcott Year 3 Levi Birdsall Year 4 Helena Sutton Year 5 Erin Gorrell Year 6 Aidan Harrison FRIENDS OF BROAD OAK (PTA) BAG 2 SCHOOL ?
