27th November 2020
Dear Parents,
I want to take this opportunity to thank all members of the Mead community for supporting us at this time. We have worked hard in school to adhere to all the guidelines and that coupled with your diligence has ensured there has been minimal disruption to the children’s education. Everything crossed that this will continue to the end of term.
We are very busy in school at the moment preparing for our Christmas performances. Sadly current restrictions make it impossible for parents/carers to come into school but we will be sharing the performances via Google classroom, class Dojo and on social media. I’ll let you know all the important dates next week.
Havering Catering Services
Week beginning Monday 30th November is week 2 on the Havering catering services menu. All meals are served with unlimited salad and vegetables and cost £2.25. The menu can be accessed here (it says infant school but is the menu for both infants and juniors).
Please be reminded to top up your child’s catering account as we cannot provide dinners for pupils whose accounts exceed a debt of £10.
