We expect to start at about 9:30 a.m. If any parents are available to help us walk pupils to and from the centre we would be very grateful. Can we please ask any willing volunteers to report to Reception for around 9:00 a.m. Parent Introduction Meetings At the beginning of each year we usually hold meetings with the class teachers and all parents of each year group so that staff can outline expectations and requirements for the year ahead. Following feedback from parents last year we have decided to bring these meetings forward and hold them before them summer break this time. We hope that this will make it easier for you (and your children) to prepare for the year ahead. The meetings will be held on the following dates: Year 2 parents (meeting Yr3 staff) – Wednesday July 1st Year 3 parents (meeting Yr4 staff) – Tuesday July 2nd Year 4 parents (meeting Yr 5 staff) – Monday July 7th Year 5 parents (meeting Yr 6 staff) – Thursday July 3rd As in previous years meetings will start at around 3:20 p.m. and last approximately 30 minutes. Children who attend Hen Golwyn can be supervised during the meeting but we are unable to provide supervision for younger or older pupils. Please try to come along as the meetings will help to continue to develop the strong links between school and home and ensure that pupils will get the most out of the next academic year. Please let your child know if they need to be supervised while you attend and we can ensure that they go straight to the hall at the end of the day.
