ICT – Online e-safety Presentation An interesting presentation is available on line related to e-safety issues. It explains some of the risks and what parents can do to help their children be safe when on-line. The website is: http://www.childnet-int.org/seminar-flash/main.swf Parking Outside School As you are aware, we constantly have issues about parking outside school, parking on the zig-zag lines, parking too close to a road junction and blocking people’s driveways. We have had complaints about double parking on Commonside and parking too near the junction with Church Road, which is illegal. The access to Commonside needs to be clear to allow other vehicles through especially emergency vehicles. Please respect people’s property and do not park on gardens/land or block driveways. Please park safely in the interests of all our children and our close neighbours. Thank you for your support in this matter. Tokens Please continue to send in Nestle, Sainsburys and Tesco Tokens. Thank you. Jam Jars Please send in any empty jam jars to be used on the Jar Stall at the Summer Fayre. Thank you.
