SCHOOL UNIFORM
It is very important that Year 3 students adhere to the school’s uniform policy. We have a no hat-no play policy - hats must be ISS school hats. If your child feels the cold they need to wear an ISS school jacket or windcheater. Please do not send them wearing any other jumpers or T-shirts. ‘Safe’ shoes are to be worn at all time on the school property. Students need to wear proper full sports uniform for physical education and sport and swimmers for swimming classes. New students will be informed of their house colours later by our new PSPE teacher.
LABEL EVERYTHING
Many items of student property - uniforms, hats, drink bottles etc end up in lost property and are never claimed. Clearly labeled items can be returned to you, saving you money, so please make the effort to do this.
BE AT SCHOOL ON TIME
It is essential that all students are at school on time by 7.50am each day. This will give the children time to walk to our rooms, hang up their bags and take out any items they will need ready to begin classes at 8am.
TIME TO SEE CLASS TEACHERS
Please feel free to call the office should you wish to make an appointment with your child’s teacher. The class teacher will contact you or if necessary make a time to meet with you.If you have a message that needs to be received that day, put it in your child’s diary and ask your child to bring it to the attention of the classroom teacher when they are marking the roll first thing in the morning. Please don’t rely on sending us text messages as we cannot guarantee that we will check these in a timely manner.
PICKING UP CHILDREN
Please do not come into the classroom at bell time at the end of the day until students have been dismissed. We encourage Year 3 students to develop responsibility for their personal organization.
HOMEWORK
The school has a homework policy – generally Year 3students should allocate half an hour to 40 minutes per day for homework. In the first two weeks incidental homework will be sent home; however, homework will begin in full in week 5 after the swimming programme in week 3 & 4. Please encourage your child to continue their home reading during this time. Individual teachers organize their own individual homework programme.There will be a homework folder and exercise book. We will send out homework on Mondaysand it is due back on Fridays.
EXERCISE BOOKS
To ensure that students’ books are protected and maintained, we request that all exercise books are covered preferably by the end of week 3. Some of these books will be brought home at the end of week 2. We suggest that students use adhesive plastic cover.
READING LOGS
Students will be provided with a reading log to record their daily reading beginning in week 3.
DIARIES
All students will be issued with a class diary. They are expected to bring these to and from school each day. If they contain messages from parents, the children should give these directly to their teachers in the morning when rolls are being marked. Otherwise, all diaries should be signed by parents on a Thursday night and these will be co-signed by teachers on a Friday.
