Newsletter 22/10/21

We hope you all have a lovely half term break, and look forward to seeing you on Monday 1st November.

Bumped Head Messages – We are changing the way we inform parents about minor bumped head injuries (if they have opted in to receive a message). Previously we have used a texting service which is only accessible to the Admin Team  and which we have to pay for,  but in the future we will use ClassDojo to send bumped head messages, allowing more members of staff such to send the messages, as well as save the school some money.

Class Dojo – We are very pleased that nearly 99% of children have one or more parents accessing ClassDojo. If you would like to add another parent,  have changed phones and forgotten how to log in, or if you have any other query, please contact the school office and we can assist you.

E-Safety  – Useful information for parents – The E-Safety page of our website contains a useful collection of  guides for the most popular social media and gaming apps that children are using today. Each guide includes key information including the official age ratings, how children and young people are using the app, potential risks and design, data & costs.
