We look forward to hearing from you.
D & G Council’s Supporting Learners team is offering support to help parents and carers manage the wellbeing of children during this difficult period. Please click on the link below to see a poster outlining the support available through a telephone consultation service.
Wednesday and Thursday (26th and 27th February) of this week are enrolment days for children who will attend Nursery in the next academic year. As well as new children, current children returning to Nursery next year will also need to complete a new enrolment form.
Please come along to the school office with your child’s birth certificate and proof of address to complete an enrolment form. Please check the name of your Health Visitor, if you are unsure, as you will need this as part of the enrolment process.
We hope that everyone has enjoyed their holiday with their families. Nursery starts back tomorrow, Monday, February 24th, at our normal times.
Details of upcoming events can be found on the “Dates for your Diary” link on the right under “Support Information”, for example this week we have the Book Fair and Nursery enrolment. As always, these details will be updated if any further dates are arranged.
We look forward to seeing you all tomorrow.
Nursery is now closed to the children for a week but we still have lots of activities and photos to share so keep an eye on our blog as we will continue to post over the next week. Have a lovely holiday boys and girls.
