Bicycles of groups 7 and 8; please make use of the racks at the gymnastics hall.
Please contact the teacher if you are interested in guiding the children to the swimming pool; when more parents help out we will be able to make a schedule. We have arranged bus transport for the children, which needs to be paid for. This is an amount of €24, we would prefer it if it could be paid into our school bank account NL65ABNA0580598128. We want to thank you in advance.
Lunch hour and its payments
Cards for lunch can still be bought with Ms Hanny every Tuesday and Friday. It goes without saying that we appreciate payments through our school bank account. (NL65ABNA0580598128). Please mention your child’s name and group and of course that the payment is being made for overblijf. For an entire year it will be an amount of €180 for bovenbouw (groups 5-8). For six months this amount is €90 (which is cheaper than buying separate cards) For onderbouw (groups 1-4) the amount for an entire year is €140. It is no longer possible to pay for one single time only. A card of for instance €5 will last for quite a while. When you made a payment for an entire year (or for 6 months) the teacher will be informed about that and when another payment is due. Arrears in payments? It is only possible to spend the lunch hour at school when arrears have been wiped off. Parents/ care-takers will be informed through a letter when arrears occur.
