  Covid-19 Update

   

  I would like to begin by thanking parents/carers for practicing social distancing and wearing face masks whilst in and around the school grounds.

   

  It has been decided that from Monday 9th November children may now bring into school small school bags, rather than plastic bags with their school work.

• MESSAGE FROM SCHOOL NURSING

  Fri 06 Nov 2020

  Dear Parent,

  As you are aware, the school nursing teams are visiting schools delivering the childhood flu programme.  If your child has already received the flu vaccine with their GP, please can you contact your school nursing team as soon as possible on this number 02837567249 or 02837561023 to avoid an unnecessary 2nd dose of this vaccine.

   

  Please note the flu vaccine is only administered to P1 to P7 pupils in the school setting. 

• Half Term Holiday

  Thu 15 Oct 2020

  KING'S PARK PRIMARY SCHOOL

  (EDUCATION AUTHORITY, SOUTHERN REGION)

  15 October

   

  Dear Parent/Carer,

   

  As you are aware the Executive announced yesterday that schools would have the half term holiday extended to two weeks.  This means the school will be closed for all pupils from Monday 19th until 30th October and will reopen on Monday 2nd November.

   

  The Department of Education is asking schools to use two of their school holidays from the year and three additional exceptional closure days to make up the additional week at half term.  We will therefore be revising our holiday list to reflect this and will inform you of the changes as soon as possible.

   

  As the next two weeks will be a holiday for pupils there will be no home schooling or workpacks etc sent home and teachers will not be communicating with parents via the class dojo. 

   

  Parents are asked not to use the class dojo to contact teachers during the half term break. 

   

  If you need to contact the school urgently you can use the school website or if your child/ren test/s positive for covid please contact the school on the out of hours contact number as soon as possible: 07783 300575.

   

  We wish you all an enjoyable half term break and most importantly a safe one.

   

  Sincerely

   T Shields
