Hayfever season

Just a reminder that with Spring comes hayfever. If you tend to treat your child's hayfever symptoms with medicine and would like them to be able to take some when required at school, visit Nat, Liz, Donna and Elle at the front desk to arrange a 'Medical Administration Authorisation Form' and to leave your child's medicine in the first aid room.

Resources in Compass

All relevant school information can be found in Compass under the "Resources" tab. This can be found by clicking on the pencil icon on the top task bar. If you are using the app, you will need to select "Open in Browser" from the menu and then click on the pencil icon from there.

Staff Car Park

Just a friendly reminder that for the safety of our students, the staff car park is only to be used by staff during the hours of 8:30am - 4pm and for OSHC drop off & pick up.

School Pick-Up Zone

Please be aware that the pick-up & drop-off zone at the front of the school is only to be used for quick dropping off & picking up of students. Vehicles must not be parked in this lane, as it stops the flow of cars. This means that parents/carers are not permitted to leave their vehicle. The local council has advised us that they have parking officers who regularly drive around the schools in our area to monitor this. Please be mindful of these rules, as we do not want any one in our community to be issued with any fines.

Hats are back!

September 1st means hats on heads!! If your child hasn't brought their hat to school yet, can you please remind them to do so!

In accordance with the Department of Education and Training guidelines the School Council of Ringwood North Primary School introduced compulsory school uniform. All students of the school will wear the correct uniform at all times. Please view the attachment below for the school uniform guidelines (this can also be found under "Resources" in Compass).

Parent Voluntary Financial Contribution 2023

Please find attached information on RNPS Parent Voluntary Financial Contribution for 2023. Payment can be made either through Compass or at the office.

Some families will still have showing on their Compass App, the message shown in the image below.

To make your contribution via Compass, you can click on the "Click here to proceed" link (shown under 'Course Confirmation'). The 'Course Confirmation' box can be found under your child's profile image on the app. If this message is still appearing on your Compass App, it means that this years voluntary contributions have not been paid. If you would like to make a contribution, then please feel free to do so following the above instructions.

Payments can also be made in person at the school office.

Lost Property

Our lost propery tub is currently overflowing with items of clothing.

PLEASE encourage your children to come and check the Lost Property tub at the office (just past the glass double doors) for any missing items. We would greatly appreciate it if items were returned to their rightful owners!

Medical Plans and Medication

Up to date medical plans for your child must be prepared by your GP. The colour copy (with your child's photo attached) should be provided to the office, together with up to date student medication.

Working With Children Check - Parent/Carer Volunteers

Parents, carers and grandparents volunteering their time to assist at school or with school activities such as excursions, sporting events or camps must have a Working With Children Check and be registered at the office.

Financial Support for Families

Ringwood North Primary School understands that some families may experience financial difficulty and offers a range of support options, including the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) and alternative payment arrangements. If you have any queries or wish to discuss your circumstances and possible options, please contact the office to make an appointment with the Business Manager or the Principal.
