All contributions will bewarmly received. Please ensure they are dropped off by Monday next week(17th September).The Foyer at PickupTime is very congested at the moment because wehave two classrooms upstairs that are not using the hall stairs to leave the

school. Please could parents and child-minders wait in the Early Yearsplayground or hall (as appropriate to your childs classroom) to minimisecongestion.A Year 2+ Meeting will be held in January on Wednesday 9th at 4pm.
