Good afternoon Vlammie Parents
I hope you all are well. The school is looking forward to the term and the teachers are excited to teach ‘normally’ again. We believe and trust that we will not be unnecessarily disrupted.
I would like to bring the following to your attention.
1. WHATSAPP GROUPS
Thank you for your cooperation with your child’s work, which is posted on the groups by following it up and checking that the work is done. The school will continue with these groups as arranged. However, this will decrease as formal classes begin. As School Principal, I will communicate the dates and times of interest to you. There is also a request that communication between staff and parents / children be restricted, between 14:00 and 17:00 during the week. Your co-operation in this regard is appreciated.
2. SCHOOL HOURS: LATE COMERS
Register period in the mornings has been taken away so that the first period starts at 07:30. If your child is late you have to report to the main gate with your child. We trust that you will have your child at school on time.
