Good afternoon,

There will be no Merits tomorrow (Friday).

Tickets for the performances will be sent out tomorrow, please check in your child’s bag.

Please make sure that all costumes are in school tomorrow (Friday).

Menu is Week 3.

EarlyBirds & AfterSchool

EarlyBirds will operate as normal each day (except Thursday 19^th December). However, we are aware that on the afternoon performances, particularly Tuesday, most of the children who normally attend have a family member coming to see the performance and so we assume will be being taken home, please confirm this with us – especially the regular bookings. The same will occur on Wednesday, if you have family members at the performance and do not require AfterSchool, please let us know. I need to consider staffing, particularly for AfterSchool, as they will be working through the whole day due to performances as well as being back in the evening. Basically, if you do not need AfterSchool Care this week, please let us know.
