DINNER MONEY

Could I kindly ask that you pay your child’s dinner money on the day or in advance, thank you.

BOOKS AMNESTY

During a recent audit of our books we have found that a number are missing. Could you please check if you have any LVPS books at home (ORT or Bug Club), which will have the school stamp inside. We are also re-stocking our class and school libraries and will be buying a range of texts, but if you have any good quality books at home you no longer need we would love to make use of them. Thank you.

NUT ALLERGY

We have pupils who have a serious nut allergy. Children should not bring nuts, or any food item containing them, including some chocolate spreads, to school under any circumstances, thank you.

CONTACT DETAILS

Has your address or telephone number, or your emergency contact changed? Please keep us updated to ensure we can contact you with important information.We have begun the process of e-mailing letters to parents. If you have not yet given us your e-mail address please email and let Mrs Fleming know who your child is.

PLEASE REMEMBER!
