During this first week you should have received two forms that need to be completed and returned to school; the student information form and the computer usage agreement and blog guidelines letter. If you have not yet had time to return these please do so as soon as possible.
One of the big hits of the new school year has been the new cafeteria service which has been fully refurbished and is providing excellent food for the students. In the coming weeks the cafeteria will also be offering coffee and pastries for parents when they drop children off in the morning and pick them up after school. This should make it a really nice community area to enjoy.
After a few teething problems the bus service is now running smoothly. Please continue to give us your valuable feedback about ways in which it can be improved. You can email the bus provider, Mr William, at the following address: [email protected]
I hope you find this blog a useful way of communicating with you. Again please let me know ways in which you would like to see it improved.
Welcome back and have a wonderful weekend

Elementary School Principal
