Parents Letter – Primary Schools Gatherings at School gates Feb 21

Letter to parents March 8th reopening

As you may be aware, the Department for Education has stated that there will be no reported statutory or teacher assessments this year. This means that there will be no Early Years Foundation Stage Profile, no Year 1 Phonics assessments, no end of Key Stage 1 or 2 assessments.

A reminder that you can contact class teacher’s via their class emails and they will respond between the hours of 8.30-4.30pm Monday to Friday. Many of you are communicating through the chat feature on TEAMS or your microphone which is great.

The emails for the teachers are: –

Mrs Patterson      nursery.montalbo@durhamlearning.net

Miss Lauder         reception.montalbo@durhamlearning.net

Mrs Leonard        year1.montalbo@durhamlearning.net

Mrs Newton         year2.montalbo@durhamlearning.net

Dr Greenwell       year3.montalbo@durhamlearning.net

Mrs Smith            year4.montalbo@durhamlearning.net

Miss Bean            year5.montalbo@durhamlearning.net

Miss Richardson      year6.montalbo@durhamlearning.net

Live lessons should begin shortly. We are having some technical difficulties accessing TEAMS which we hope to quickly resolve. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

A reminder that Mrs Bartoli and Mr Minikin will be delivering assemblies each week which can be accessed via your child’s TEAMS account.

If your child has impressed you at home, please contact you child’s class teacher as they may win ‘You’ve Been Spotted!’ in Friday’s Celebration Assembly. You can ‘spot’ them for anything such as working hard, being helpful, supporting a sibling etc. We look forward to hearing from you!
