A reminder that our Newsletter will be going paperless from

Week 1 Term 2. Parents will be able to view our newsletters

through the Leeton Public School Web page and App as well

as elect to receive an electronic copy via email. If you wish to

receive an email copy of the email and haven’t already

contacted the office please do so as soon as possible.

As always I would like to reiterate to all parents that if you have

a concern or query regarding your child's education please

make an appointment to see the relevant classroom teacher or

appropriate Assistant Principal to further discuss the matter.

Parents are asked to address any emails to our school

email address. These emails will then be forwarded to the

addressed with classroom teachers as often issues can be

addressed quickly.
