Reading Logs

Reading Logs are now available with the click of a button at the bottom of this page.  I will send Reading Logs home weekly however, if your child misplaces his or her log you can now print off a new one from home.

Communication

Communication: You are your child’s first and most important teacher.  I’m here to support you and your child.  I’ve only been given one year to make the greatest impact I can and, I  promise you that I will make the most of the short time that I have been given.  If at any point you need to get in touch with me please don’t hesitate to email or call.  I will get back to you as soon as possible.  I do not take my responsibilities lightly.  I know how important this job is.  Thank you for entrusting me with your child’s learning, happiness and safety.
