Dear Families and Friends of Crossmichael and Gelston Primary Schools,
I hope this newsletter finds you well. Spring has arrived at Crossmichael with tadpoles turning into frogs and pupils planting seeds ready to harvest vegetables later in the year. Please look at our class Facebook pages for further information.

Sports Day
Crossmichael Sports Day will be held on 3rd June. Pupils will participate in races and potted sports. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to invite parents to spectate but we will keep you updated with photographs on the Blog and class Facebook pages.
Pupil Progress Reports
End of year summary reports will be sent to parents at the end of term. Please rest assured that we will get in touch with you if we feel that your child is experiencing any barriers to learning. We have gathered a range of assessment evidence to inform us about pupil progress and this helps us to ensure that we are meeting learners’ needs. In the meantime, if you have any concerns about your child’s progress then please contact your child’s teacher.
P7 Leavers Assembly
We aim to have an end of term assembly outside so that P7 parents can attend. We are keeping an eye on current guidance and hope to confirm arrangements soon.
School Trips
We would like to take pupils on a school trip to a local destination but we must be mindful of the guidance. Again we hope to confirm arrangements soon.
Best wishes,
Mary Lidstone-Scott
Headteacher
