Friday 3/2
 * Dear Parents /Carers, **
 * Welcome to 2012 and our 1 /2 learning team! We hope you have had an enjoyable summer with your family. We are looking forward to an exciting year working with all the children and helping your child learn and achieve success. We will need your cooperation in order to make your child’s transition from home to school successful everyday, so below are a few reminders **.
 * __** Being Sunsmart **__
 * Moreland Primary School is a Sunsmart School and all children must wear an approved school hat when outside. You may purchase a hat at our uniform shop. **
 * Sunscreen should be applied to exposed areas on very hot, sunny days . **

||
 * __ ARRIVAL AT and PICK UP FROM SCHOOL __**
 * Learning begins at 9am, so please arrive at school at least 5 mins before the bell goes. Check your child has all they need the night before. **
 * We have 80 students in the 1 /2 team, so please wait downstairs for your child at 3.30 to avoid congestion on the stairs or in halls. **

** Moreland Primary School has a Nude Food Policy which bans junk food and encourages wrapper and package free healthy, nutritious “brain food”. ** ** Lunches need to be in reusable plastic containers. ** ** Appropriate snacks would be fresh fruit and vegetables, cheese, dried fruit etc. No chips, lollies or sugary drinks. Water is best. Pack a water bottle each day. ** ** If your child needs food heated in the microwave, then please write a note explaining how long to heat the food. ** ** No dried noodles that require boiling water please. **
 * __ HEALTHY LUNCHES/SNACKS and BEING RUBBISH FREE __**
 * __ FOOD ALLERGIES __**
 * In our class we have 2 students who suffer life threatening food allergies. They cannot eat peanuts, tree nuts or eggs. **
 * Please explain to your child that they must not share their food with anyone else. **


 * __ BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS __**
 * We love to celebrate special days such as birthdays with your child, but as we are a group of about 80 students, please no large cakes. Cup cakes, chocolates or lollies would be more suitable as a special, celebration treat. **
 * // Please note the Nude Food and Food Allergies boxes. //**
 * Please voice any concerns to us as soon as they come up. We would also like to know of any issues, which might affect your child’s behaviour or learning. We urge you not to talk in front of your child or try to speak to us during the morning rush. If you need to speak to us in person, please schedule an appointment either before or after school. This way we can focus on the issue at hand. **
 * Thank you, from the 1 /2 Teaching Team- Mrs. Charuckyj, Donna, Simon, Roxanne, Ms Wong, Mrs Matiszak, Mrs Khattar and Sengul.**
