Dear Parents and carers,

Due to Mrs Wheeler being taken ill over the half term break and as yet, not well enough to return to work, it is with regret that we need to postpone her parent’s evening appointments for both Wednesday and Thursday.

I understand that this may cause some inconvenience for parents and for that I can only apologise, however I’m sure that you understand that this is an unforeseen circumstance and join me in wishing Mrs Wheeler a very speedy recovery.

The children are being very well cared for by the rest of the Reception staff team in Mrs Wheeler’s absence and we will reschedule her appointments with parents as soon as we can, following her return to work.

Thank you for your understanding,

Mrs L. Lockett
