Welcome Back

Staffing
Firstly, I must start with an apology, in the last newsletter I did not thank Mrs Christine Owen who retired from her role in Breakfast club. The good news is that Mrs Owen is continuing as our Caretaker.
I would like to welcome Mrs Louisa Jones to the staff team. Mrs Jones will be teaching in Year 1 and 2 and she settled has in really well into life at Minera School
Contact Details and Medical Information
Please ensure that we have up to date contact numbers for your child, particularly if you’ve had a new mobile phone over the holidays or you have any updated medical information.
Medication
If your child is taking prescribed mediaction, ideally children should be given their medication before and after school. If this is not possible, please complete the consent form on our school website:https://minera-aided-primary-school.secure-primarysite.net/medication-in-school/ or come into school to give your child their dose.
Healthy Snacks
If your child brings snack into school, this can only be fruit, in line with WelshGovernment Guidelines - no crisps, cereal bars etc.
School Uniform
All children look really smart at the beginning of term. Please make sure all uniform items are clearly labelled with your child's name on.
