LIAISON
BETWEEN PARENTS AND SCHOOL
1.
CIRCULARS
The
circulars provide you with very important information and we therefore request
you to study it carefully and to sign receipt thereof on the envelope provided.
It is always wise to file these circulars, as you may have to refer to it again.
2. FLYERS
Although you do not have to sign for these, we request you to study these
carefully, as this is also a medium of communication. It serves mainly as a
short term reminder for activities taking place within a day or two.
3. CONTACT BY
TELEPHONE
The school has 4 telephone lines. You are welcome to contact teachers before
school or during breaks (10:35 - 10:55 and 12:50 - 13:02) and after school.
However, during this time the lines are often engaged as many calls are made
then. We advise you to phone at any other time and to leave a message with the
secretary. The teacher concerned will return your call as soon as possible. It
is, however, very difficult for teachers to phone during class time. Most of the
staff members have no free periods during the day and we therefore request you
to be patient.
A call which has
not been answered after 3 rings will be switched to our automatic answering
system. You will then be requested to press 1 for the financial secretary and 3
for rainy day arrangements.
4. ARRANGEMENTS
WITH REGARD TO LATE AFTERNOON EXTRA-MURAL ACTIVITIES
Due to the
increased participation in sport and cultural activities we are compelled to
coach many sessions which result in pupils having to stay at school till late in
the afternoon. The following arrangements have been made:
 | Pupils must
wait for their parents in the school grounds at the Aftercare area
(particularly when it gets dark). The Aftercare is open until 17:30 and
there is always someone in the vicinity.
|
| The following
arrangements have been made should a learner's parent or the lift arrive
late and the child becomes anxious:
|
| If it is
before 15:30 and it is an urgent matter, the pupil may phone from the
secretary's office (the phone call bill be billed).
|
| If it is after
15:30 and the pupil has no money or telephone card and an urgent matter
arises, the pupil may phone from the cell phone at the Aftercare Centre. The
cost will be R5,00 per call. Mrs Huebsch will make a note of the call.
|
| The pupil may
also phone from the telephone call box by using a phone card. It is
advisable to purchase a phone card for your child. These are available at
Telkom offices, CNA, Seven Eleven and it may also be bought during first
break at Mrs Horne's (bursar) office.
|
| We remind you
that the school building will be locked at 17:00.
|
| The subway
will be closed at 17:00 during the week and at 16:00 on Fridays. |
