It is the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year and the Education Welfare Officers would like to extend a hearty welcome to all new and returning students. We hope that you had an enjoyable and relaxing vacation and have returned to school rejuvenated and determined to succeed.
Parents and guardians, it is our hope that this year we will work even closer together to enhance the lives of your children – our students. We ask that you ensure your child is equipped with all school necessities such as proper uniforms, school supplies and healthy meals and snacks. Exert the effort necessary to guarantee that your child arrives to school daily and on time. Please note that at the primary level, morning and afternoon sessions begin at 8:25 am and 1:00 pm respectively. At secondary schools, these sessions commence at 8:20 am and 1:10 pm. In an effort to reduce absenteeism you are being asked to contact the school via telephone or in writing to report any and all cases of illness or justified absence.
We are assigned to monitor school attendance which makes it our duty to assist parents in ensuring that their children are in school. Let us all strive to make this academic year successful. We wish you a prosperous school year 2015-2016.
Natasha Carty and Conisha Gumbs
