Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Dear Parent/Carer,
As a school we continue to refine and improve our communication with Parents/Carers.
We already make good use of Twitter and the school website, as well as regular letters and newsletters being shared with you.
Please note that the school is now using the App 'Class Dojo' as our main Class communication tool. Using this app you will be able to keep up to date with news and events from school, as well as news and pictures from individual classes. It is a much more effective way of us keeping you up to date with what is going on in your child's class.
The Class Dojo App can be downloaded on to mobile devices, as well as being accessed via the website www.classdojo.com
As a result of this new communication platform, the Class Pages have been removed from the website.
I trust you will enjoy using Class Dojo and be able to keep up to date with what is going on in class.
Many thanks,
Mr R Morgan
Executive Head Teacher
Dear Parent/Carer,
As you may be aware, there is currently a winter sickness bug that is affecting a number of local schools within the area, including Trelewis Primary. The sickness bug tends to start as stomach pains, which then causes vomiting and/or diarrhoea in the first instance, but usually only lasts for a short period.
The issue, as with any viral infection, is that due to the virus being able to change, it is possible that the sickness bug can be caught more than once, even if you have had it before. The other issue that we have with this particular ‘bug’ is that as it is an airborne virus it is very hard to control it. Given that children are all in close proximity with each other at school, it does mean that it can be easy for the bug to be passed on.
I want to reassure you that as a school, we have been in touch with Public Health and the Health and Safety department at Merthyr Tydfil CBC, and are doing all we can in school to ensure that we are able to try and limit the effects of this virus in school.
Strategies in place include:
We would ask for your support at this time, in trying to minimise the impact of the sickness bug by ensuring that you do the following;
Hopefully with these extra measures in place we can try to limit the impact of this sickness bug at this time. Many thanks for your support,
Mr R Morgan
