PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS
Parent teacher interviews will be on the 20th & 21st June. A separate notice about this has been sent home with the children this afternoon. If you have not received one we have more at the office.

PORTLAND STREET PARKING
& CROSSING
Portland Street parking and the road crossing in the afternoon is causing great concern. Many cars are parking in inappropriate places, some which are not allowing parked cars to get out and others are just stopping on the road to let their children get in to the car. This is inappropriate and creating less vision for the road patrol children to do their job properly. Please take extra care in this area and use the crossing as it is for the safety of the children that we are concerned.
