Welcome back, and Happy New Year!

We hope that all our families enjoyed a wonderful festive period and are excited and ready for 2023.

Staffing

We have been delighted to welcome Mrs Bates to join our team this week, who is teaching Willow Class. Mrs Finn has also joined us as a Family Support Worker. Mrs Gibson has also started to teach Maple for one morning each week, covering Miss Holgate’s PPA time.

FOSS '100 Club'

We are pleased to have launched our FOSS ‘100 Club’. This is a joint venture between the Monk Fryston PTA and FOSS to raise funds for both organisations – please see the rules email in December. We expect this to be popular and should result in big prizes being awarded each month. Numbers can be purchased from ParentPay now.

Totally Runable

We have started to work with ‘Totally Runable’ this term, who will be taking children in Maple class for a series of workshops looking at gender equality in sport.

School Lunches

Next week we will be on Week 2 of the New Spring 1 2023 lunches menu.

Children can decide daily whether they are having a school dinner or packed lunch.

Please ensure you discuss the menu each day with your child so they can decide what they would like to order. Once they know their choices, they will choose this each morning with their teacher during registration.

Each day there are 4 choices, either the hot dinner, hot vegetarian option, jacket potato with a choice of toppings or a sandwich. The sandwich and jacket potato always come with a selection of vegetables/salad on the side and have the full pudding choice for that day.

Packed Lunches - if you are sending grapes in your child's packed lunch, can you please ensure that these are cut in half.

Spring 1 2023 Lunch Menu

From w/c 2nd January - w/c 6th February

Parent Volunteers

We are delighted to be able to have volunteers into schools again, and would welcome parents to help us. If you are able to give any time to us, either on an ad-hoc or regular basis, you will need to complete a DBS application. Please contact the office for more information.

Application for Pupil Absence Form

This form should be completed by the parent/carer and returned to the school as far in advance as possible and preferably preferably with sufficient notice before the first intended day of absence.

Car Parking reminder

Please be considerate when parking near the school crossing. If parked too close it can be very difficult to see if it is safe to cross, particularly at pick up time-thank you.
