Book Mobile coming – Overdue books to be returned

Hello Parents,
A number of books were  not returned at the end of last term and the bookmobile is coming back on every other Wednesday.  Students should check with their teachers to find out the amount of outstanding overdue fees.  Please make sure that your children return the library books on the next book mobile visit.

Grade 3 Substitute Teacher

Hello Grade 3 Parents,

Ms Nicholls is ill and will be out all of this week. Mr. Frett is back and will be substituting for her till she returns.

 

 

 

Homework Books

Hello Parents,

Please download and print your child’s Homework Record Book now available here. The last 2 pages of each contain the homework descriptions and due dates which your child will fill in as the assignments are issued; please print more of these as needed.

These pages should be assembled into a folder and attached to each other so that individual pages will not go missing.  With proper use, your child will not miss any homework assignments and this will make it easy for you to monitor homework to ensure all assignments are completed and on-time.

Homework Books: Kindergarten ~  Grade 1 ~  Grade 2 – 6

URGENT NOTICE: Foot and Mouth disease

Hello Parents,

We have just been informed this morning that there are cases of Foot and Mouth Disease in the Nursery.
Parents, it is vitally important that the school is informed AS SOON AS you suspect your child is infected.

Please read this information copied from the Mayo Clinic website regarding the disease, symptoms and preventative steps:

Definition

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease — a mild, contagious viral infection common in young children — is characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet. Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is most commonly caused by a coxsackievirus.

There’s no specific treatment for hand-foot-and-mouth disease. You can reduce your risk of infection from hand-foot-and-mouth disease by practicing good hygiene, such as washing your hands often and thoroughly.

And they’re OFF! . . . One-OFF!

Thank you to all the parents who turned out at the first General Meeting of this calendar year. It was good to hear all that is happening at First Impressions Primary School first-hand.

As expressed in the meeting, we will be going ahead with the Talent & Fashion Show Extravaganza which was planned for last term but had to be postponed numerous times because of the rain.

Tana’ania will spearhead the One-OFF committee (which had already gained an additional 3 volunteers before the meeting’s end). Please remember that they will need our help and support as they revive the plans for this event and see it through to the end. If you are called upon to render some help please be positive and make your best effort to help where you can.

Feel free to add your comments below and watch out for more information as it becomes available.

General Meeting – 5pm Tuesday, 10-January-2012

We will be having a general meeting at the school at 5pm next Tuesday.

We are pleased to see that all classes got off to a good start today and students settled in well. It has been a good first school day. As most of you are aware, there have been some staff and other changes recently, some of which have taken place as recently as yesterday. Announcements via this website are quick and informative but we also need to have a face to face meeting so we can get feedback from you and to openly discuss matters which cannot be dealt with here. Please make every effort to be at this first meeting of the term.

Thank you.

 

P.E. at A.O. Shirley for Grades 4-6

We hope most parents will get this information tonight. We apologise for the late announcement on this.

Grades 4 – 6 will be going to the AO Shirley grounds for their PE class tomorrow (Thursday, Jan-5). The school will transport them to and from the grounds. They are combining all their PE times so they will be out there for 90 minutes. The coach says it can be hot at the time they are going so they will need LOTS OF WATER! It is also suggested that they bring a hat  and sunshades.

Happy New Year – Welcome Back!

Happy New Year wishes to all Students, Parents and Staff! We hope you had a happy holiday and are ready to get back to school. Welcome back to everyone and we look forward to a very productive term. You will all be made aware of any new changes for this term as we finalize arrangements. We thank you for being a part of our First Impressions family and for supporting us as we “build our children” to be the leaders of our world tomorrow.
