We are delighted to announce that Georgina Benson is our new Clerical Assistant on a Tuesday and Friday.   We are waiting for paperwork to be processed so that she can start working with us soon.  Miss Vicky Campbell, although based at Crossmichael, will continue to receive telephone calls on a Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.

P4-7 Feis Rois Ukulele Performance in Gelston Village Hall

At 11.30am on Monday 25th November, P4-7 pupils would like to invite their family and friends to listen to them as they perform some of the pieces that they have learned on the ukulele.  We wish to thank Feis Rois for their enthusiasm and support over the weeks.  The children have really enjoyed learning a new instrument.

 

P7 Open Evening at Castle Douglas High School

P7 pupils and parents are invited to attend an open evening at Castle Douglas High School on Tuesday 26th November at 6.30pm.

 

PE Kits

We have noticed that some pupils are forgetting to bring a full PE kit to school with them.  A PE kit should consist of a separate T-shirt, shorts/ jogging bottoms/ leggings, socks and PE shoes (PE shoes can also be used as indoor school shoes).

 

Clothes and Personal Items

Please label all clothes and shoes with you child’s name.  Also, please check that your child has not accidentally brought home another child’s clothing.  We have a few missing cardigans and jumpers at the moment.
