Magic Breakfast<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
The breakfast caf\u00e9 provides a free breakfast to any primary age child who attends the school.\u00a0 The Breakfast Caf\u00e9 runs between 8.15am and 8.50am each school day. The last order time for food is 8.40am, no food will be issued after this time as cleaning will begin. Children can go outside to the playground at 8.50am or before to play unsupervised, as would be the case for other children who may arrive at school early.\u00a0 It is important to note that the Breakfast Caf\u00e9 is not childcare. This means that the staff involved serve food to the children, they are not responsible for looking after the children during this breakfast time. Any cases of unacceptable behaviour by the children, whilst at Breakfast Caf\u00e9 or in the playground after, will not be tolerated, and may result in your child being excluded from this service. Parents\/Carers are very welcome to attend with your child\/ren.<\/p>\n
Attendance<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Can you please make sure your child is prompt for the start of school, we are having an increasing number of children arriving late to class, which has a knock-on effect on your child and the children and teacher in the class.<\/p>\n
Absence<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
If your child is absent from nursery or school, can you please ensure you contact the school<\/p>\n
by 9.30am either by email, text or telephone. Email – springfieldps.enquiries@fife.gov.uk<\/p>\n

Toys etc. from home<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Can we please remind you that children should not be bringing toys, teddies or valuable items from home into School, this causes disruption in the class and the playground or may be lost or damaged.<\/p>\n
School lunches<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Can we please remind parents to pre-order and\/or discuss available meal choices with your child\/ren before they come to school. Children can still pre-order in school with their teacher in the morning, however some children are not liking what is available. This helps with the smooth running of the ordering process in the morning and avoids unnecessary upset and phone calls home.<\/p>\n
Healthy Snacks<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
As a Health Promoting School please support us by giving your child\/ren a healthy snack\/lunch option. Sometimes children can come to school with inappropriate\/sugary items for snack and also before school. Can we please ask that you have a conversation with your child\/ren to make sure they are not purchasing these at the shop, without parental knowledge, before school. By doing this it will help with your child’s concentration level throughout the school day. No large bags of crisps, packets of biscuits, bars of chocolate, sugary sweets should be brough for snack, these types of items will be removed from children to be returned at the end of the day. Fruit can be offered as a substitute if snack is inappropriate or has been forgotten. Please note we no longer have a school tuck shop.<\/p>\n
Indoor Shoes<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Please can you ensure that your child\/ren have a change of indoor shoes. Increasingly children are not wearing appropriate footwear e.g. boots\/wellies within the classroom.<\/p>\n
Water Bottles\u00a0<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Can you please make sure that your child brings a water bottle to school every day. They will have opportunities to refill them as required throughout the day. Unless you have an arrangement due to medical reasons with the school, water bottles should only contain water.<\/p>\n
Rag Bag Donations<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Our textile recycling bin in school raised \u00a3165.20 so far this session. Thank you for all your clothing donations.<\/p>\n
Traffic<\/u>
\n<\/b>A reminder: Can we please ask all parents\/carers to park away from the school and walk their children to school, this will avoid traffic congestion and any potential accidents from occurring. There have been several concerns raised by both residents and parents regarding the amount of traffic around the school at both drop off and pick up times. Please can we ask parents to avoid parking at Tarvit Terrace as it is becoming heavily congested and therefore unsafe.<\/p>\n
Head lice<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Can you please remember to check your child\/ren\u2019s head regularly for head lice. If there is evidence of head lice, it is important to start treatment as soon as possible. Children with head lice infection should continue to attend school or nursery as long as treatment has started. To help prevent re-occurrence it is advised that children with long hair have it tied back<\/p>\n
PE & Outdoor learning days<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Children can wear their PE\/Outdoor learning clothing to school on the below days.\u00a0Can we ask that PE clothes match the school uniform colours.<\/b><\/p>\n
P1-2 = PE Tuesday and Wednesday<\/p>\n
P3-5 = PE Tuesday and Thursday<\/p>\n
P6-7 = PE Monday and Thursday<\/p>\n
Bikes and scooters in the playground<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Children have been asked to put their scooters and bikes into the bike cage in the morning (bike shed key is available from the school office) children are not permitted to ride scooters and bikes in the playground before or after school \u2013 they have been asked to walk them out of the playground for safety. Please can children be reminded of the importance of wearing a helmet.<\/p>\n
Seesaw use<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Seesaw is continuing to be used and works really well and is enjoyed by teachers, parents and the children. This is a great way to share and record learning as it happens in the classroom. This resource is used to involve families in your child\/ren\u2019s learning and as such can we ask that all related chats are learning based. If you have any other queries or concerns please direct these to the school office 01334 659438 or by email on springfieldfieldps.enquiries@fife.gov.uk and these will be passed onto the nursery staff, class teacher or Miss Rennie.<\/p>\n
Important Uniform Reminder<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
We are delighted to see so many smart pupils, in school uniform colours. As you are aware, we take a great deal of pride in our school uniform and the sense of pride and identity that this gives us. We think it is important for the pupil\u2019s PE kit to also be seen as part of their school uniform Therefore,\u00a0we would ask that PE clothes follow the school uniform colours:<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
