Hello, Summer! — (A Last Day of School Poem)
by Gregory K.
Goodbye, classroom!
Goodbye, Teach!
You can find me at the beach…
Or in the park or at the pool
Or any place that isn’t school.
Goodbye, quizzes!
Bye, reports!
Hello days packed full of sports
And days when I’m just lazybones
While eating melty ice cream cones.
Goodbye, homework —
Lunchroom, too.
There’s so, so much I wanna do.
I know the school year flew on past…
But please, please summer — last and last.
Big info splurge yesterday as we build up to the summer break and run out of working hours. Lots of emails, texts and FB updates came your way.
If you missed it, we added parents’ evening events to our Facebook page so you can sign up and get reminders.
These posts may have been lost in the morning news drama and adverts, so here’s a fresh update.
The full list of parents’ evenings can be also be seen and downloaded here.
Our new online calendar will be available soon. Watch this space.
We have just launched Edulink One to all of our contacts with ‘parental responsibility’. Emails have been sent home with details of how to log in.
We are moving all existing paper and electronic communications to this system. It is therefore essential that you use this service to stay up to date regarding your child.
Further information can be found here and in the email.
