Dear Parents
On the eve of the new term, I wish to remind you of some of the things I mentioned in my end of term letter, which I hope you all received and read.
Learners are expected to wear full school uniform from tomorrow.
No beanies, no hoodies and no jackets will be permitted. Learners will have these items confiscated until the end of the year and sent home to change into school uniform. No trainers or other shoes, other than school shoes, will be permitted. Please do not allow your child wear non uniform items.
I mentioned that children are smoking ci******es and w**d at school and that we will be searching learners every day. If your child is found in possession of illegal substances, they will be suspended, sent home and will face a disciplinary hearing. Schools are drug free zones and we will not tolerate learners who use, possess and distribute illegal substances.
Learners who are late for school will be sent home. School STARTS at 8am. Learners must be at school at 07:55. Please make sure your child is at school on time. You have been advised that they will be sent home if they arrive after 8am.
Learners who bunk classes, litter the school and who are disrespectful to educators will be suspended from classes and will do community service around the school. We will no longer tolerate learners who disrespect the school or staff.
Finally, learners who disrupt classes and the education of other learners will be sent home. Every child has a right to an education. Those children who disrupt education at Lotus High will be sent home. Please get this message to your children.
As parents or guardians, it is your responsibility to ensure your child attends school to learn. It is my responsibility to ensure curriculum delivery and the safety of your child AT school. If any learners disrupts education or endangers other learners, I will respond immediately.
