MID-TERM NEWSLETTER FOR THIRD TERM 2013/2014 SESSION
This
is the middle of the third and final term of 2013 /2014, and we appreciate God
for leading us thus far, and successfully too.
APPRECIATION
We also appreciate you, parents /
guardians, for your numerous contributions which facilitated our achievements
within half of this term. Your quick and wise response to issues including
your cooperation and partnership have in
various forms constituted a milestone to the advancement of Lagooz Schools. We
are indeed, grateful to you and pray that God will richly bless you.
SCHOOL FEE.
This is another area where many parents
/guardians proved themselves worthy by their capacity to pay for one year in
advance or complete payment of fees for one term. We also appreciate those who
paid according to the demands of the school, that is On or before the reopening
date. To all of you, we say a big thank you’ We also encourage you to rise to
the occasion as you have always done to enable the management plan for
logistics ahead of the reopening day. Therefore, we still require payment on or
before reopening date at the beginning of each term.
Parents
are hereby reminded that it is FORBIDDEN for Nursery and Primary pupils to
bring money to school on any ground. Parents can pay for school lunch and
fruits.
BOARDING / HOSTEL FACILITIES
The School hostels are still intact. Students
live happily and enjoy the modern facilities provided by the school for their
comfort. Seminars and skill- acquiring co-curricular activities that are
transformational are taught to them, especially in this age when it is
mandatory for this young generation to be computer literate. For the sake of
physical fitness, the boarding students are exposed to aerobics. Boarding
students are served healthy and life-giving food for fast physical and mental growth.
There is a school clinic right in the hostel although serious illness is
referred to the school hospital.
