Parent Updates
Parents update Tuesday 3rd October
Dear Parents and Carers,
Thank you to everyone who donated cakes and/or attended our coffee morning last Friday. We loved having you in school and the children’s poetry was brilliant. We’ll let you know how much we’ve made for Macmillan in due course. Please read on for the latest school news.
Cars and Car parking: There will be no-parking cones and traffic restrictions on Colmore Drive and Hall Moss Road for 3 days (at least). We received no notice that this would be taking place, it is nothing to do with school. Thank you to those parents who were considerate and parked further away. We know it is a nuisance, especially when you are in a hurry and the weather is bad but please cooperate with the restrictions. It is easy to think, “I’m in a hurry and it’s just one car,” but very quickly it will be more than one car and things will become very difficult. Please be polite to any school staff who are outside attempting to keep the children safe by asking people not to park illegally.
Parents’ Evening – Parents’ evening will take place from 3.30-6.00pm in the school hall on Thursday 19th October. Appointments will be made available to you on the School Spider app, you will receive a notification inviting you to make an appointment. If you are not yet logged into the School Spider App, please phone the office for a code. Please note, children are not to be brought to the parents evening. Parents who are unable to attend, will receive a short written report on their child’s progress. Hockey and Afterschool childcare will take place as usual that day but there will be no Construction Club.
Parents’ evening appointments are 5 minutes per child. If your child is on the has a support plan in place, you do not need to book a parents evening appointment. You will have 20 minute SEND review appointment during week commencing 6th November which we will email you about directly.
Cost of living support: Please see information here about from Manchester City Council with links to support with cost of living issues.
Celebration Assembly – The following children received certificates in our assembly on Friday:
As ever, please contact the school office (contact@st-johnbosco.manchester.sch.uk) if you have any queries or need any support.
With love and prayers,
Mrs Johnson
