Welcome	Welcome to our new families who are starting with us in Term 3.  It is great to have you join our Howick Primary School family.

Footsteps Lessons	On Monday 24 July the Footsteps Dance Programme starts at H.P.S. Please read the emailed letter for details about these lessons and payment information.
3pm hometime	For the safety of the children, we ask that all children in Y0-2 are collected by a parent/family member or sibling from the classroom. Please contact the school office if someone else other than you will be collecting your child, the office will then inform the class teacher
litterless lunches	One way to help us reduce litter at school is for each child to try and have a litterless lunch. Please take items out of their packets at home and put only food in lunchboxes. Reusable containers are great for keeping the food fresh.
Whizz Kids Science Programme	They will be launching their programme for Year 3-6 students on Thursday 3rd August (Term 3, Week 2) The programme runs after school from 3:30-4:30 for 5 consecutive weeks. An extra copy of the letter is in this email if you wish to sign your child up.
Road Safety	Please ensure you use the pedestrian crossing at the front of the school, go through the gate and down the path to keep our students safe. Please help us keep the children safely away from the carpark entrance.
Assembly	Don’t forget that it’s whole school assembly at 2.15 on Thursday afternoons, we would love for you to come along and celebrate with us
