St Mary’s Catholic Primary School Ysgol Gynradd Gatholig Santes Fair Milford Road SY16 2EH Issue 274 Date: 25th January 2018 Dear Parents,

There will be ASSEMBLY tomorrow afternoon at 2.45pm. Please do come along and join us – all parents are welcome . We are looking forward to the Newtown Area Netball Competition TOMORROW at Maldwyn Leisure Centre. A reminder to those participating - you will need your PE kits, warm clothing for in between matches, a waterproof coat (as you are walking to and from Maldwyn), a packed lunch and plenty of drinks. Miss Jones will be accompanying our teams on the day. Good luck all and enjoy it! Information sharing- Please note that from the end of this month, access to our newsletters will be via the school website www.st-marys.powys.sch.uk and the schools facebook page. If it is not possible for you to access this information through either of these routes, please email us and we will arrange to have a copy emailed to you on a weekly basis. This week’s newsletter is therefore the last one that will be printed and sent home with the children. Please can I appeal to ALL parents who bring their vehicles into the car park at the beginning and end of the school day, to take the utmost care. Please be aware of all pedestrians walking into and from school and also of visitors to our neighbours at Plas Dolerw. The car park gets very busy at these times and we really do not want any accidents to happen. Zwracam sie z prosba by rodzice, ktorzy przywoza i odwoza dzieci do szkoly byli ostrozni i zwracali szczegolna uwage na przechodniow tych ze szkoly jak i z Plas Dolerw. Parking jest bardzo ruchliwy zwlaszcza rano i popoludniu i nie chcemy zadnych wypadkow. On the subject of the car park, the Manager at Plas Dolerw has asked me to remind you all that the disabled car parking spaces in front of Plas Dolerw are for their visitors only and may only be used if the registered blue badge is being displayed in the vehicle. Please be courteous to others in more need than yourselves and find a different space to park. Thank you. Odnosnie parkingu, kierownik z Plas Dolerw prosi i przypomina by nikt nie parkowal na miejscu wyznaczonym wylacznie dla osob niepolnosprawnych. Jest to miejsce wylcznie dla gosci Plas Dolerw, ktorzy posiadaja karte osoby niepelnosprawnej. Prosze o tym pamietac i uzywac w przyszlosci innego miejsca na parkingu.
