Welcome

 Dear Parents,









Welcome

Hello and welcome to Room 9's blog for 2021. This blog will be a place where parents/carers can log on to see what is happening in Room 9. We will post photos of the students involved in different activities, keep you updated about upcoming events and let you know what we will be focusing on in the classroom.
We would like to welcome all the students and parents to room 9, and a special welcome to all our new students and families.
Parent Information Session
On Tuesday 23rd February at 4.45pm, we will be conducting the Parent Information Session. We encourage one parent from each family to attend the session, as it provides valuable information regarding your child’s year in room 9. It is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions. We would like to remind you that this is a child free event and limited to one person per family. 
 
School App
If you haven't already done so, download the Wattle Grove Primary School App. It allows you to notify the school if your child is absent, order from the canteen, keep up to date about coming events and receive the school newsletter.
The App is available for Apple as well as Android phones.
 
Canteen
The canteen operates on a Wednesday and Thursday. Orders can be placed online, via the School App, or by writing it on a lunch order bag, available from the classroom. Students can order for recess and lunch (if you are ordering using the lunch bags, you need to write recess and lunch orders on separate bags). 

Library
Our Library day is every Friday. Students must have a library bag to be able to borrow books and books must be returned before they can take another book. Library bags and books need to be put in the Library box every Friday morning.
