Assumption Convent Primary School 300 Jan van Riebeeck Street Pretoria North 012 565 5234 012 546 9843 PO Box 18349 Pretoria North 0116 info@acpschool.co.za 12 November 2015 Dear Parents/Guardians Please take note of the following important matters: FINANCES AND RE-REGISTRATION Once again we would like to remind parents of the re-registration fee of R2500.00 for grade 1 – 7 and R2080.00 for grade RR – R, which was payable by the end of October. We appeal to parents to please settle this amount a.s.a.p. if they have not done so yet, as the waiting lists for placement have now been opened. Unfortunately, names of learners whose re-registration fees have not been paid can not be put on a class list, which means that they are in danger of forfeiting their placement in the school next year. Thank you to all parents who have already paid. GRADE R OPEN DAY Open day for all new Gr RR and Gr R parents will be held tomorrow morning at 8:30 for 9 o’clock in the school hall. Parents are requested to please be on time. CAROLS BY CANDLELIGHT This function will be held on Thursday 19 November at 18:30 for 19:00. This is always a very special function and all parents are invited to attend. Bring along a camping chair and come and enjoy the evening with us. You are welcome to come earlier with a picnic basket and have a family picnic on the lovely green playfield. A R5 donation will get you a battery operated candle and a booklet with carols upon arrival. The idea is that we really make it a “carols by candlelight” function, where all of us will be singing carols, instead of having a Christmas play. In keeping with tradition, we ask everyone to dress according to a Christmas theme, just to add to the fun! The Tuck shop will be open and will be selling donuts, and boerewors rolls. Please complete the attached reply slip if you would like to order food. A very serious and urgent request is made to all parents NOT to bring alcoholic beverages to our Carols by Candlelight function. In the first instance, alcohol is not allowed on the premises, secondly it is very inappropriate at a function such as this, and thirdly it sets an extremely bad example to the children. EXAMINATION The final exams are under way and we wish all our students the best of luck. Parents PLEASE see to it that your child studies and is well prepared for the examination. NB! Next week all learners will start writing at 7:45 in the morning as they will be practicing for Carols by Candlelight during the second session. It is imperative that all learners be on time otherwise they will not have enough time to complete their exam papers. No extra time will be given to late comers!

SCHOOL COMMUNICATOR Just a friendly reminder to please install the D6 School Communicator on your smart phones and PC’s.

Students may collect their reports on 26 November between 07:30 and 10:00. There are a lot of good quality second hand school uniforms available at the school. NB!
