Parents whose children are due to start school in September are being advised to register them at the relevant schools as soon as possible.
The Department of Education's Legal and Administrative Services Manager John Gill (pictured) says the earlier it's done the better, as it helps schools to allocate staff and plan resources more effectively.
Even more importantly, it helps children settle into school life, as they can attend open days before starting for real:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Programme is for eligible Year 13 students and under-25s
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Price tag has jumped up by £600,000 since scheme was first approved
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel

Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
