Dear Parents/Carers,
1. WELCOME TO MCAS
Thank you for downloading the MCAS app. We have been busy processing data and setting up the system for a few months and finally we are able to start sharing it with you. Going forward, I’m sure there will be a few glitches but we’re working hard to make sure the system is simple for parents/carers to use and works effectively in school.
I will send my weekly newsletter via MCAS from now on and post it on the website too. You may still receive the odd Parentmail messages from the admin team.
In the next few weeks, we will be setting up Breakfast Club and Teatime Club, and school visit permissions and payments on the app which we will start using in September.
2. ROCK STEADY MUSIC LESSONS AT TOWER ROAD!
As part of our Arts Fortnight events, Aaron from Rock Steady came in to school on Tuesday to lead music band workshops with all of our children, from Reception to Year 6. The children absolutely loved their chance to rock out!
From September, Rock Steady will be holding band music lessons on a Friday afternoon. This is a great opportunity for your child to begin to learn an instrument in a fun and engaging way. Your child should have brought a letter home with them on Tuesday with further details of how you can sign them up for September. If for any reason you can't find the letter, you can go to www.rocksteadymusicschool.com .
3. READING PICNICS
Attached is a flyer from the Reading Ambassadors to remind you of the Reading Picnics we are hosting next week, from 2:30pm to 3:00pm on the year group allocated days.
4. ARTS FORNIGHT
We hope you have been listening to the *Endeavour FM Breakfast Show* this week as part of the Tower Road Takeover! Weren’t the children great?
