AGM / Parent Teacher Meetings Info

The AGM will be held in the Hilton on February 1st.  It would be great to see as many as parents as possible there. Points of interest in this years AGM are:
:
- Input on the use of iPads in Belmayne ETNS to support teaching and learning.

Workshops:
- Homework in Belmayne ETNS
- Positive mental health in Belmayne ETNS and the wider community



 Parent / Teacher meetings will be happening soon. If there is a particular day of the week that would suit you best please let me know. Also if you would like a morning slot before school starts, please let me know.  I cannot guarantee that I will be able to suit everyone's schedules, but I will endeavour to do my best. 
Any parents with siblings in the school, we will do our best to accommodate you on the same day.

There is no written homework this week. Instead children must start to learn their lines for our winter assembly. Narrators to practice their lines also. I would hope that children can start to be off script by next Tuesday!  Have a root around at home for costumes. If you are having any difficulties just give me a shout! Thank you!
