Dear Parents and Carers of Orchid Class,

RE: Orchid Class – Parent Representative

We are delighted to introduce you to your Parent Representative: Emily Holman

“Hi, I’m Emily and I’m the Parent Rep for Orchid class. Archie has joined KG this year and I also have a one (soon to be two) year old, who you will often see hanging around at drop off and collection. I work in football which is less exciting than it seems, as it’s mostly spreadsheets and organising people/events, so hopefully I’ll be pretty good at sharing information with you all. I’m looking forward to getting to know you all as the kids get bigger!.”

A WhatsApp group has been created by your rep, for your class. Please click https://chat.whatsapp.com/GlbK8LpXOin2Xu0nIuSpf9 (via your phone) to join the group.

The role of a Rep is to act as an extra channel of communication between school and home, as well as creating a sense of community and cohesiveness within the class. The groups are also an opportunity for parents to help each other, for example lending wellies for forest school or bringing in extra items for art projects.

Please remember that these groups are for school related matters only. We expect all members of the groups to abide by the Code of Conduct, which can be found here: https://wp.me/pbnXlb-5Ea

You are not obliged to join the group. Obviously, we would like as many parents to join as possible as it’s a great way of keeping up with school life, but we appreciate that not everyone will want, or be able to.

Yours sincerely,
Janine Green (Parent Governor) and Ian Hyde (Headteacher)
