Organisational & Security issues regarding Class Call In

• I hope you are looking forward to class call in. It's the 1st one we've had in a while, and will be new to reception, year 1, and maybe even year 2 parents!  Classrooms will be open on Thursday, from 3.30pm-4.30pm for you to come into school, just to have a look round!   This is not a parents’ evening, but an opportunity for your child to show you what they are proud of around school, and in their books! Let your child lead you through their work, and the school and do the talking!  Just call in for as long as you like… I hope to see you there!
• As we continue to live with Covid can refrain from entering school if you have symptoms of COVID-19!
• It is a very busy hour in school and needs to be organised! Please indulge us… (remember it’s new arrangements for many this year) And it does take us ages to settle Late Stay, account for them, check school's secure, then let you in. Just chill and chat whilst you wait! 
• Can all parents remain on the yard until staff indicate school is clear, and we know that all children have been dismissed safely.
• Classes 1 & 2. Enter and leave through the reception door. Michelle will be there to indicate when you can come in, which is around 3:30pm. 

Classes 3, 4, 5, 9 and 10 —Enter and leave through your own classroom external door.

Children in classes 6, 7, 8 and 11 should enter and leave up the junior slope, Thomas will be there to indicate when you can enter.

Please, I beg, be patient, and avoid ‘blocking’ the exits, despite your natural enthusiasm to get in! Teachers are not being awkward—they're waiting for me to say that parents can come in, and I will only do that once Late Stay are sorted. The priority is to ensure that all children have been safely handed over to their accompanying adult, and this takes time.

• Please supervise your children closely during the time you are in school!

So many dos and don'ts, perhaps begs the question is it worth it!? The answer is a most definite, "yes"

Thanks for your co-operation in all these matters; I hope you enjoy the call in!
