Deb Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Hi Does anybody have a welcome/new starters letter they'd be willing to share with me to save me reinventing the wheel? We somehow seem to have managed to get by without one for the last few years but I do think it would improve our induction to the setting. Thanking you in anticipation.

Deb Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Thanks very much Korkycat, some items on there I hadn't thought of adding to a welcome letter which is why it's great to see what other settings do. Would love to see any other ideas too. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 We send out a "pack" of information and forms with this letter if it's any use New Starter Welcome Pack for fsf.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyfs1966 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 mine is much the same as SueJ's but also includes a short version of our safeguarding policy for parents to keep and a data processing information sheet which we are obliged to give to parents (something to do with the data capture by the LEA to do with FNEP funding). All in all I think we drown them with paperwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thank Sue and EYFS 1966 for your letter and comments, great to see what others do, and will defintely be incorporating your suggestions as well.

lynned55 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 We do a sort of parents information mini brochure. We do do a prospectus but as parents get that so far in advance i decided to take out a lot of stuff fro that and put into this- to give them on their first day. it's stuff like how our lunch and snack times operate, tells them where all our policies can be found, just general stuff about our day to day running. I was just about to post it here when I realised that it has been done in Publisher and I am on a new machine that doesn't have publisher so cannot open it. i dont want to post it as it is as it has our phone number and address. Sorry What a pain, needs updating and had planned that for the summer- wont be able to on this machine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hi Lynn Thanks for the thought Lynned55. I know exactly how that feels not having Publisher on your new computer but having documents to open. I downloaded an old version from a previous version I had. I did a custom download, only downloading Publisher. You could always PM me and I could delete your contact details before uploading it but you might not want to do that which I understand. Thanks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
