A children’s DVD will be running in the Library if you have no babysitter. Please collect your child promptly once you have had all of your appointments.
Please remember that each appointment is planned on a ten minute limit. If you have any issues which need greater discussion, an additional appointment will need to be made with your child’s class teacher so that other parents do not have to wait beyond their allocated time.
All parents have been allocated appointment times so we look forward to seeing every parent.
