Dear Parents,
Welcome back to 2019-2020.
Thank
you for returning on time and for ensuring that all our children are
smart and well prepared.
Summer
Reading and Holiday Challenge:
Pupils have until Wednesday 11th
September to complete this (10 colour points if joining in and the
chance of a prize)
After
School Club: Teachers
provide extra-curricular clubs free of charge and through good-will.
These are on Monday Tuesday and Thursday. Teachers are in meetings
and training on Wednesday evening each week. If you need child care
please do not rely on the extra-curricular clubs as there will be
times when they are not available. Our After School Club Childcare
prices and conditions can be collected from the school office.
Extra-Curricular
Clubs 3.15pm – 4.15pm start on Monday 23rd
September: Please
collect your child promptly from the side of the hall at 4.15pm.
Parents
are Partners: We
want to work in partnership with you to help your child to be happy
and successful. If you want to discuss any matters, please contact
the office to make an appointment with myself or your child’s class
teacher. We have much to be proud of, at Beecroft, not least in our
broad and balanced curriculum – musical instrument teaching, DT,
art. Our Year 6 parents were delighted with their child’s
achievements in July. Leeds City Council has also reminded all
parents of the importance of the 3 ‘A’s’ – attendance,
achievement and attainment in enabling children to be happy and
successful.
We
look forward to working with you and your child in the year ahead.
