Myself and the SLT have been in school making sure when staff and students return, we are able to maintain social distancing and developing one way systems for people to move safely around school. Thank you all for your continued support as we move towards then half-term. I have reprinted information below as a reminder.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It is important that all members of our community understand our post MCO safety policy and what is required. To support this we will be running parent webinars next week before the half term to give parents an opportunity to ask questions if they have any. A letter has already been sent to all parents inviting you to register for the webinars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The PTA AGM is scheduled for 4<sup>th<\/sup> June, due to social restrictions we will be holding a virtual AGM meeting to allow all parents and teachers to be able to attend. Further details have been sent from the PTA and you can also read the PTA section in this week\u2019s newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>KPJ Hospital are running a series of health webinars and have invited our community to join a webinar on the HPV Vaccine. The webinar will take place on Wednesday 20<sup>th<\/sup> May at 3pm to 3.45pm for interested members of the KIS community.

We will keep you up to date and informed if there is any news or change to the current situation regarding school. Do check your emails on a regular basis. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy.
