Dear Lighthouse Primary School Parents,
Thanks for your continued support.
Don't forget to look at what our reception children have been up to—click here, or the link in at the top right-hand corner.
With the heat we are experiencing, rest assured that we're keeping your children hydrated and safe. Please make sure they have mosquito repellent, sunscreen, and a hat.
A quick safety reminder: the school only opens at 7:30 am, so please DO NOT drop off children at the small gate before then.
Please also be reminded that it is not permissible for parents to take other kids home without permission from those children's parents.
Sign-ups for parent meetings from 26 February to the 1 March will open this week, so please keep an eye on your e-mails.
Have a great week ahead!

Goal Setting Parent/ Teacher Meeting Sign-ups:
Sign-ups for Goal Setting Meetings starting the week of 26th February to the 1st of March will open this week, so please keep an eye on your e-mails to sign up on Ed Admin.
Remember to bring your child along for those meetings if it is after school hours.
Family Picnic 15th of March
We are excited to host our first picnic for 2024 on the 15th of March. All families are welcome to come and enjoy the evening with us. The picnic starts at 17:30 and usually ends by 20:30. Bring your picnic blankets, and supper, and let's have some fun together, while the children play the night away.
Dengue Fever
Thank you for your ongoing support during this Dengue fever spike.
Please remember to apply mosquito repellent to your children in the mornings and consider sending some to school for reapplication. This small step can help protect them from mosquito bites.
We'll continue to pause our Farm Lab and Forest School activities during this time. If your child has a temperature of 37.7°C or higher, please keep them home until they're fever-free without medication.
Should you or any of your family members show Dengue fever symptoms, we encourage you to go to a health facility and undergo a Rapid Diagnostic Test and a PCR, as per recent government guidelines. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated as we work together to keep our community healthy.
House T-shirts/Uniform Shop
We are happy to announce that AMARE T-shirts are now available at the Uniform shop. Unfortunately, the FIDEM house t-shirts are still unavailable for now.
The uniform shop is open for sale on Mondays and Thursdays, 8 am to 2 pm. Hats and Caps will be available from next week Thursday.
