Parental fee:
We created an overview of the parents who paid the parental fee and want to thank everyone who paid so far. Quite a number of parents have not been able to pay the amount for parental fee.
Should your child be in possession of Ooievaarspas, please make sure it has been scanned at our school administration. It is possible to do so every day except for Wednesday. This way, the parental fee has been taken care of as well. We will be taking care of a request to pay the amount of parental fee, which is still an amount of €32.50. For children that have started as of January the amount is set at €16.00. Please make sure the amount is paid for so we get to take care of extra activities with help of our enthusiast parental council. Our school as well has many expenses. It is possible to use our school bank account to do so (NL65ABNA0580598128). Both the parental fee and the swimming lessons are taken care of with Ooievaarspas as well as long as it has been scanned at our school administration. In some cases a small amount remains, which will be used for schoolreis, the annual school trip which will soon take place as well. We try to keep that amount approximately €25.00.
School photographer; will be at school on 26th April for all children, their brothers and sisters.
School church service
On Sunday 10th April we like to welcome you and your children in Prinses Julianakerk for the annual church service particularly for families related to our school.
The service will start at 10am and will open around 9.45am. After the service the church offers coffee and lemonade.
Parking; bringing and picking up
Unfortunately, we noticed that not everyone is aware of the effects of wrongfully parking your car. Do not park your car on sidewalks or block the road by leaving your car on the street unattendedly.
Bicycles; The children of groups 7 and 8 need to use the bicycle racks next to the gymnastics hall. Please make sure that the bikes that are being parked in the racks on the large school yard.
For your information; library subscriptions are free of charge for children.
With the newsletter(on paper) you received the holidays for next school year (2016-2017)
Sporttuinen: For all children of our school. You already received separate information with the right times and dates.
Zagazoo, after school care
Were you aware that our school co-operates with Triodus for after school care? We call it BSO, which is located in our building. The Zagazoo makes sure children receive after school care between 3pm and 6pm. Ms Deborah and Ms Lisette like to guide activities and prepare a snack for children. They make sure the children enjoy themselves. The Zagazoo is also available for day care during holidays or other days that the school is not open (for instance a study day) between 7.30 am and 6pm. Do not hesitate to walk by the Zagazoo for additional information.
Please inform the school every day when your child is ill, preferably before school starts. When he or she has to visit a GP or other doctor, please make sure the teacher receives a copy of your appointment. Thank you.
Lunch hour and payments
Lunch cards are still available with Ms Hanny on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. It is also possible to make payments through your bank account using NL65ABNA0580598128. Please remember to mention your child’s name, group and of course that the amount is meant for overblijf. It is cheaper to pay for the entire year; for bovenbouw this will be an amount of €180.00 and for onderbouw €140.00. For 6 months the amounts will be €90.00 and €70.00.
It is no longer possible to pay for one separate time. A card of, for instance €5.00, will not lose its value for quite some time. When you paid for the entire year or for 6 months, we will inform the teacher. The teacher will also let you know until when the payments are due. In case of a giant arrear in payments we will inform you through a letter that you need to wipe off the arrears before your child could spend its lunch hour at school again.
Annual School trip
This year, the children of groups 1-3 will visit Linnaeushof and children of groups 4-8 will visit Duinrell. The planned day will be Thursday, 28th April.
The fee for the school trip for groups 1-3 will be € 23,50, children in possession of Ooievaarspas will only need to pay €5.00 extra.
The fee for groups 4, 7 and 8 will be €25.00 children in possession of Ooievaarspas need to pay €7.50 extra. The fee for the school trip for groups 5 and 6 will also be €25.00 for children in possession of ooievaarspas as well. (the ooievaarspas had been used for parental fee and swimming)
In case of Ooievaarspas it is a necessity that the pass has been scanned at our school administration.
We will inform you through a separate letter about the school trip. In this letter we will also inform you how it will then be possible to inform the teacher that you are interested in guiding a group. For now, we do not have the possibility for you to let the teacher know that you are interested in joining the annual trip.
Klassenouders
After the meeting some weeks ago, we have now started working with klassenouders. This means, that a parent related to the group could ask you to help out organising an activity for the group, all to support the teacher. We still do not have a sufficient amount of group related parents. Are you still interested, please contact your child’s group teacher. The check for lice will be done by the parental council and or group related parent.
Report cards
By now, all parents have received an invitation for the conversation about report cards on Monday 21st March or Tuesday 22nd March. Please check if that is the case and if necessary please contact your child’s group teacher. After the conversation your child will receive the report card to take home. Before or after the conversation you have time to take a closer look at your child’s work the teacher will make sure it is there for you. The teacher will have a talk with the children about the report cards.
