EASTER BREAK 2ND – 16TH APRIL INC
Absences due to Sickness
Absences must be notified to the school on the first morning of
an absence, followed up by a note in the contact book or a letter.
We have had difficulty getting reasons for absences and in these
cases absences will be recorded as unauthorised.
Absence Requests
The Government and and Local Authority absence arrangements
which we notified to parents last September are detailed again
below. Absences from school must be requested by letter addressed to
the Head Teacher. These requests will be considered by both the Head
Teacher and the Governors. Absences will only be authorised for
special circumstances. Holidays during term time (unless there are
exceptional reasons) do not qualify as special circumstances and
this type of request will not be authorised
Parents taking children out of school during term time without
authorisation should be advised that this will be recorded as
unauthorised absence. We have been notified by the borough that
fixed penalty warnings and fines will be imposed for those children
with a history of poor unauthorised attendance. |
SATS
SATs are taking place between 14th -18th May 2007. Please ensure
your children are in attendance during this week. Absences during
this time will not be authorised.
No Smoking Policy
The Governors at St Joseph’s have adopted the Bexley Council No
Smoking Policy, which extends to council sites. With effect from 1st
March smoking will be prohibited on the school grounds, which
includes the area outside the entrance to the school.
Head Lice
We take Head Lice seriously at St Joseph’s and we are aware that
there may be cases that are not being reported to the school. If you
child does have Head Lice, please ensure that the school are advised
so that we can alert parents in specific classes. Prompt treatment
would help to eradiate the problem.
Sponsored Event
We will be holding a Sponsored Event on Wednesday, 7th March. This
will be in the format of a fitness circuit. Further details to be
sent home by pupil post.
Spring Bulbs
Please be advised that the Spring Bulbs will be judged at school on
7th March, please ensure the children bring in their bulbs even if
they do not have a flower. All bulbs will still be judged. Hopefully
the children have been nurturing their bulbs. Good luck!
World Book Day - Book Tokens
World Book Day takes place on 1st March 2007. Book tokens will be
sent by pupil post on Monday, 26th February. The £1 tokens can be
spent between 26th February and 25th March 2007.
French and Spanish
The French and Spanish clubs will not be continuing at the present
time.
Good Shepherd Appeal
The Fruit Baa Baa boxes have already been sent out to the children
for this appeal, on behalf of the Catholic Children’s Society, which
is taking place for Lent. Boxes can be returned to the school after
the Easter break.
Active Kids 07 - Sainsbury’s Tokens
We will be participating in this again this year so please send
tokens into school.
