Calside Courier

Well done to all P7s who gave outstanding speeches for the House Captain elections. A very close vote!

I have great pleasure in announcing the House Captains for 2021-2022:

Duncan: Adam and James

MacAdam: Joe and Lucy

MacMillan: Harry and Ethan

MacAdam: Lauren and Rosie

All parents/carers should have received an email from the Director of Education last week. It can also be read here: https://supportdg.dumgal.gov.uk/schools-update?fbclid=IwAR29w4iGJaTHBbaV9YrudtD5e9DombvjpxvUPbEsu-oSYt36Q9UotCuDSLQ

This letter confirms that the health and safety arrangements in place in June will continue for at least the next 6 weeks. As such, the allocated gates/doors will continue to be in use on Thursday when the children return. Staff will be in the playground shortly ahead of the 9 a.m. bell in order to assist the children to get to the right place! Parents of Nursery and P1 only are able to come into the playground, and should be wearing a face covering when they are in school grounds. Nursery and P1 children should be escorted to their class door where staff will collect them. Unfortunately we continue with no parents able to come into the school building.

P1 children will start at 9.30 on Thursday as previously advised. This is to allow a smooth handover once the rest of the school are all settled in.

The nursery works have not been completed and therefore we continue with the school in considerable disarray. Parents and children should remain vigilant as to traffic.

I have great pleasure in announcing the Honour Roll for 2021: the winners of the honours should be proud of all they have achieved this year, particularly in light of the interrupted learning we have experienced.

2021 Honours

We wish the P7 Class of 2021 all the best as they head to high school, and our best wishes go to those staff who are retiring or moving onto pastures new.

Everyone at Calside would like to wish Mrs Hubbert a happy and exciting retirement! Thank you for all your hard work over the years! You will be greatly missed!
