Mid-Year Parent/Teacher Sharing Appointments
At Mellons Bay School, we use an online Booking System for the Parent/Teacher sharing appointments. This event does not include Room 4, who will receive their own communication regarding their ‘Meet the Teacher’.
After-School Playground Use
For safety reasons, students are not permitted to play on the playground after school unless supervised by a parent or caregiver.
As communicated by our Principal, our expectation is that children go home promptly leaving the school grounds by 3:15 pm every school day. Any student who has not been picked up by this time, cannot wait within the school grounds and will be asked to come and wait in the Office. Students might then need to go to SKIDS at a cost to their Parent or Caregiver.
Thank you for your cooperation.
