Please find the attached guide for parents/carers in regard to COVID 19.

Please familiarise yourself with this document/refer to this document if/when required.

These are the Government guidelines that we follow at Crudgington.

COVID 19- Reference guide for parents

Please can we remind parents/carers that if your child is going to be absent from school for an appointment then we will need to be informed of this prior to them being absent.

If you have a letter from hospital/dentist etc then please bring it to the office so they can take a copy of it.

If you do not have a letter but it is a pre booked appointment then you need to inform the office prior to the appointment taking place please.

Any absences due to illness must be reported to the school office by 09.30 on the first day of your childs absence – please speak with a member of staff in the office by telephone after 0830 in the morning to advise them of the reasons for the absence.

The office will then advise you if you need to call school each morning subsequently dependant on the illness.

It is especially important that you speak with the office if it is a COVID related absence rather than leaving a message on the answerphone.

Many thanks

Good afternoon

We are still outstanding a high number of the Code of Conduct return forms which are on the back page of the letter which is contained within the plastic folder. These need to be completed and signed by all parents/carers

Please can these be returned by the end of this week as we are still outstanding more than 50% of the returns

Many thanks for your support

Saturday 5th December- Friends Christmas Raffle Draw

This will be done virtually and shown on the Friends Facebook page.

There are still a few tickets available if you require any more let me know in the office.

Wednesday 9th December – School Christmas Lunch

This year the children will have their Christmas lunches in their classrooms instead of in the school hall.

The cost of the meal is £2.25 – if your child pays for school meals then you will need to pay online at Telford and Wrekin school meals for this meal in advance of the day.

If your child has not chosen a school dinner you will need to send them with a home packed lunch that day as the school kitchen will not be serving any other hot meals or sandwiches that day.

Friday 11th December – Christmas Jumper Day

On this date the children are able to come in their own clothes (mufti day) wearing their Christmas jumpers/tops to support Save The Children – the donation for this is £1.00 per child.

Please send the children in with their donation – there will be collection buckets in each class- there will be a collection bucket at Breakfast club for any children there on that day also. This is so that the children can drop the money in as they come into school.

Please do not send the money in an envelope.

Friday 18th December -Last day of term

We break up for the Christmas holidays on this date. We return to school on Tuesday 5th January 2021 – Monday 4th January is a PD day so the children are not in school on that date.

Many thanks

Please can we remind everyone that they should only arrive 5 minutes before they are due to drop off or collect their children from school.

If everyone could please stick to their designated times for drop off and collection then there will be no situation where people are struggling to pull into the car park from the main road which has been causing some traffic jams.

With the roadwork’s in place this week also it is especially important that the main road is not blocked at any time.

Please do not arrive more than 5 minutes before you are due to drop off in the morning or collect your child/ren in the afternoons.

Also when waiting on the playground for your child/ren please can you ensure that you are stood on the markers which are marked 2 metres apart. These are in place to ensure adequate social distancing can be adhered to.

Many thanks for your support in this.

Following Fridays Mufti day for Children in Need we are delighted to say that we as a whole school have raised £174.00 which will be sent off to them this week

The children all looked fantastic and very brightly coloured on Friday.

Thank you for your support in raising money for this amazing cause.

We still have some lovely wristbands left if any of the children would like to buy them for £1.00 each (pink/orange or green)

Many thanks 🙂

Could all children please bring a warm coat to school every day – the children go out in the fresh air every day throughout the Autumn and Winter and do require a warm coat so that they can do this.

Many thanks

This month the children will be looking at the value of  ‘Honesty’.

Please see the attached poster.

Many thanks

Value of the Month Honesty

This year we are supporting the National Anti Bullying Week which is happening from

Monday 16th – Friday 20th November

It is coordinated by the Anti-Bullying Alliance. This year, more than ever, we’ve witnessed the positive power that society can have when we come together to tackle a common challenge.

Bullying has a long-lasting effect on those who experience and witness it. But by channelling our collective power, through shared efforts and shared ambitions, we can reduce bullying together. From parents and carers, to teachers and politicians, to children and young people, we all have a part to play in coming together to make a difference.

We’re all a piece in the puzzle, and together, we’re united against bullying.

On Monday 16th November please wear odd socks to school to show your support. There is no donation required for this – children will also be attending individual class assemblies on this subject during the week.

Many thanks

Please could parents/carers ensure that their child has a water bottle with them every day.

Thank you

The message to request a contact number for the parent/carer on the booking system has not been working – please add your phone number next to your name until this has been resolved

Many thanks

Mrs Cunningham

Please see attached poster for the Family Grapevine which can be found online
