Community Update #1.1 Welcome Back

Welcome to the 2021 school year. We hope that you are all well.  We look forward to welcoming all children from Foundation to Year 6 to school tomorrow Thursday 28 January 2021.

Here are a few 5 key tips for the beginning of Term 1.

1. Drop off and pick up arrangements 

Drop Off

We will continue the arrangements that were in place during 2020 to enable all children to remain safe. 

Prep, 1 and 2 children will enter the school through the front yard and Years 3-6 through the back yard.

ONLY PARENTS of the the 2021 preps and any other new families may bring their children into the classrooms to drop them off during this first week.

All other parents and carers must remain outside the school grounds unless they need to come to the front office.

Pick Up

During Week 1 PREP children will be collected from their classrooms from 3:15pm. In Week 2, the Prep children will be brought out to the front yard at 3:15pm to be collected. Parents must wait outside the school grounds until they see their child. Prep parents will also need to wait for siblings outside the school grounds.

Year 1-6 parents must wait outside the school grounds as per the table below.

2. Chromebooks Year 1-6

The Chromebooks have been delivered to school. As the children have diverse orders, level tables will be set up in the front and back yard for you to collect your child's boxed chromebook package to open at home with you. We ask you to label your child's device and any other belongings and return to their classroom.

Packages will be available for collection from Thursday afternoon.

No students will be accessing Chromebooks until the safe user agreements have been signed and returned schools. Further details to follow.

Any other queries please email Jenny: jhawkins@spmurrumbeena.catholic.edu.au

3. Stay Sunsafe

We are a Sunsmart school, please ensure your children bring their sunhat to school.

4. Lunch orders

Lunch orders will commence on Monday 1st February. Icy poles will commence next week.

5. 2021 dates and further notices.
