Peartree Spring Primary School Newsletter — 10/01/2020 Notices
Teacher Led Clubs for Years 1 to 6 - Due to the lack of commitment for clubs, the dark evenings and staff twilight
training, we WILL NOT be holding teacher led after school clubs this term, however the children will be able to take
part in a lunchtime club if they wish. The lunchtime clubs will start on Monday 20th January 2020. A flyer will be
emailed to parents next week with more details and how to book places via schoolgateway. Please note, there are only
an allocated number of places available.
Hydean Dental Practice - This practice is taking on new patients and wishes to ensure they see children from as young as possible.
They are a very caring practice and aim to make the visit to their practice a relaxed one. They educate all of their patients on good
dental hygiene, as well as diet advice to help prevent tooth decay. Below is a link to their website, email, address and telephone number:

County Council website www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/admissions. The closing date for applications is 15 January 2020 (please apply

Children’s Illnesses - We are pleased to announce that we will be introducing a new, more efficient and secure
system for reporting your child’s absence due to illness, called Studybugs. We will let you know over the next few
weeks when this will start. Further information on how to get the free app or register is detailed below:
Get the app or register now (https://studybugs.com/about/parents)
Top 3 reasons to use Studybugs
1. It helps us know sooner if your child is unaccounted for.
2. It’s quick and easy to register and use and automatically reminds you to keep us posted.
3. You’ll be helping the NHS and other public health organisations improve children’s health. (https://studybugs.com/about/schools)
