Circular 04/2021

Dear Parents/ Guardians

It has been a challenging month back at school as learners adjusted to attending school on a “regular “ basis post lockdown (According to Red/Blue Calendar).

I appeal to all parents to download The School Rise Communicator app as all correspondence with parents will be done via this platform.

STATIONERY MONEY

I wish to thank all Parents who have paid their child’s stationery money and purchased all the necessary requirements to aid us providing all learners with quality education. However, it is disappointing to note that several parents have not yet paid their child/childrens’ stationery money. This is affecting the learning programme in the class and may lead to a huge backlog for your son/daughter.

PARENT INFORMATION

It is essential that our school have all the relevant and updated information for each learner/parent. In light of this I thank all parents who have promptly returned the documentation listed below and urge those who have not yet returned the documentation to do so as soon as possible.

• York Road Primary Data Information Sheet
• Voters Roll Information Sheet
• E-mail consent letter

ADMISSIONS 2022

Parents please note that Admissions for 2022 closes on the 26 March 2021. For any enquiries regarding admissions please contact Mrs. H. Louw at 021 704 1705 or email: enrol@yorkroadprimary.co.za.

ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME

The Assessment Programme for Term 1 has started. It is therefore essential that your child attends school on a regular basis. Additional information regarding the Assessment Programme will be communicated to parents in the week ahead.

WEEK AHEAD

Please refer to the latest Red/Blue attendance calendar with regard to school attendance as the Public Holidays and Easter Weekend may affect the days on which your child should attend school. Dismissal times remain unchanged.

It is disappointing to note that many learners are still arriving late for school, some as late as 08h40. This is in contravention of WCED Policy. Many learners are also collected well after dismissal times.

Please be punctual when dropping and fetching your children as they will not be supervised after school. Collecting children after dismissal times places your child at risk.

PARKING

Please do not park at the access gates or on the bend in Lower York Road. Parking is available in all the side streets. Park away from the Access gates and walk your child to the entrance. It is our intention to maintain our positive relationship with our school neighbours so please do not park across their driveways or block the access to their premises.

PLEASE OBSERVE ALL ROAD RULES!

Thank you to all parents who are courteous and respectful towards our safety officers, staff, neighbours and other road users. We appreciate your patience and co-operation.

SCHOOL FEES

Thank you parents for paying your child’s school fees. We appeal to all parents to continue paying School Fees as the funds are required to create a clean and safe environment as well as to provide quality education.

Please deposit school fees directly into the School’s Bank Account.

Please send proof of payment to the Bursar by email: bursar@yorkroadprimary.co.za

In compliance with Covid 19 regulations, parents will not be allowed onto the school premises but are able to contact the school via: email: info@yorkroadprimary.co.za or Tel. no: 021 704 1705.

Yours in Education

 M.C. JOHNSON
(Acting Principal)
