Dear Parent/Carer
School Lunches – Pre-Ordering – Meal Selection
Hopefully, you have already activated your ParentPay account. Click image below to take you to ParentPay website.
However, if you have not already done so, please do so as soon as possible. From Monday 7 February 2022 all lunches must be pre-ordered via ParentPay.
You will be able to order meals until 8am each morning or alternatively, you can order up to four weeks in advance. Meal selection should be available to you from Saturday 5 February 2022 on your ParentPay account.
A guidance note on how to pre order meals on ParentPay is attached here.
Please note that breakfast choices are not available to pre-order – only lunches.

Following the success of our Halloween trail last year, we are recreating the fun with The Merrylee Monster Mash running from Thursday 28th October to Sunday 31st. If you would like your home to feature on our map, please email the PA (merryleepa@hotmail.com) asap, including your name and address. Your home will appear as a pumpkin on the map. We can’t wait to see your decorated windows, balconies and/or gardens! Maps will be available from school, on Seesaw and Facebook from Weds 27th Oct.
We will be decorating the school grounds with all sorts of ghoulish delights from this Saturday 23rd October. If you’d like to get involved please email us or message on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/237423799686385). There are ideas on the Facebook group of things you can easily make at home at little/no expense, and bring in to school e.g. milk bottle ghosts, sock spiders and egg carton bats. We welcome any of your creations or offers of help!
The recycling rail is up and ready outside the school office, awaiting donations of pre-loved, good condition Halloween and fancy-dress clothes and accessories. Please donate if you can, and pop along to see if there’s anything you could re-use this year. Another great way to help refuse, reduce, re-use and recycle.
Many thanks,
The PA
Paying for School Lunches & Breakfast Club
All payments for school lunches and breakfast club will be made through Parentpay from Thursday 7 October.
MESSAGE FROM OUR PARENTS ASSOCIATION:
Hi everyone,
We have been bowled over by the huge amount of donations for our outdoor wear clothing swap! Thank you all so much.
We have arranged the clothes and footwear on a rail in the main foyer, outside the school office. This will be accessible from drop off to pick up, and at afterschool times all this week.
Please pop in and see if there’s anything you can re-home.
The donations box is also still there for any further clean, good condition items.
We are really excited to be supporting our Eco School to reduce, re-use and recycle ♻️.
Thanks, The PA
