Happy New Year to you all! I hope you enjoyed the Christmas break.
SNOWY WEATHER CONDITIONS
On our return to school the weather is obviously a concern. Should the weather deteriorate with heavy snow falls, a decision will be taken as to whether or not the school remains open or closed. This decision will be based on the health and safety of the school site users, both adult and children.
Should the school be closed notification will be given to WISH FM who will release the names of the schools closed throughout the morning on their regular bulletins. Please do not phone the radio station as this will only lead to blocked phone lines. Please be assured that notification will be given to the radio station at the earliest possible time. Please check the school website www.wiganstandrews.net which will be regularly updated. Information may also be found on the Wigan LA website www.wigan.gov.uk.

RETURNING TO SCHOOL AFTER SICKNESS AND ILLNESS
Can I remind you that children must not attend school if they have suffered from a sickness bug or diarrhoea until 48 hours have passed since the last bout. This is to prevent the illness spreading throughout the school community.

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR FREE SCHOOL MEALS
Please can we direct your attention to the flyer (that we are sending out again) about free school meals eligibility. Schools are encouraging parents and carers to check if they are eligible and apply because the number of pupils attracts much needed funding for schools. Many thanks for your support.

UNWANTED CDs & DVDs
Thank you all very much for your generosity in donating your unwanted CDs and DVDs for a new girls football team kit. We have easily reached our target of 250 CDs or DVDs for 7 football kits. However, we are only short of another 80 CDs or DVDs in order to obtain 15 full football kits. So could you please dig deep to the back of your cupboards and recycle any unwanted CDs or DVDs in order for us to achieve this magnificent target. The collection box is outside Mrs Swift’s office by the main entrance. No copied CDs or DVDs please. Thank you for your help.
