WELCOME TO RECEPTION AT THE ROEBUCK SCHOOL
Dear Parents and Carers,
A very warm welcome to our new Reception children and families. We are delighted that your child will be joining us and we are looking forward to beginning this exciting journey together.
We look forward to meeting you and your child at your individual appointments on Tuesday 1st September and Wednesday 2nd September. These sessions will provide an opportunity for your child to become familiar with their new environment and for us to get to know them before they start school.
Following these appointments, children will attend their induction day on Thursday 3rd September or Friday 4th September. Please note that your child only needs to attend in full school uniform on their induction day.
All Reception children will then begin full-time attendance from Monday 7th September.
If you have misplaced any information regarding your appointment time, induction day, or start date, please contact the school on Tuesday 1st September, and a member of staff will be happy to assist you.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you and your child to our school community.
Kind regards,
Mrs Whittaker and the EYFS Team
