New School Dinner System

April 1, 2025 Mrs Milne Leave a comment

Dear Parent/Carer

From Tuesday 22nd April 2025 East Ayrshire are introducing a new Cashless Catering system in our school.

The new ordering system is aimed to make the process quicker for your child at lunchtime and by ordering in advance will help Catering Services reach climate change targets by reducing food waste.

ALL meals will be ordered by parents through ParentPay, using your existing Parentpay login. We have a number of parents who use a barcode letter to pay for items and have not activated their online ParentPay account. Activation letters will be issued to pupils in this position today and parents MUST activate their account to pre-order meals before we return on 22nd April.

Please see the attached letter for information and instructions on how to order your child’s meals. If you require any further information please contact the school office.

Thank you for your continued support

Dress Down Day Reminder

March 26, 2025 Mrs Milne Leave a comment

On the last Friday of every month (unless advised by school) we have “Dress Down Day” for the pupils and staff. We ask for a donation to participate in this fun activity. The monies raised from Dress Down Day are used to purchase additional resources and treats for the pupils.. The recommended amount is £1 per pupil. We are now a cashless school and unfortunately, we do not accept any cash in the school. A payment item has been created on ParentPay called Dress Down Day Donations where you can make your donations direct. You can also request a barcoded letter from the school office and use this to make donations for all Dress Down Days.

Thank you for your continued support.

P6 Bikeability

March 24, 2025 Mrs Milne Leave a comment

Mrs Fairbairn has now completed a Bikeability Instructor training course with Cycling Scotland. We are hoping to run Level 1 for our P6 year group in Term 4 when the better weather arrives. Within Level 1 – Riders learn how to prepare for a journey, check their bike and equipment are safe, and develop control skills, good observations and decision making. They also learn the importance of sharing space responsibly with other people. Training is completed in a traffic free setting.

As the ratio of adults to learners is set at a strict 1:15 for rider safety we would like to gauge interest in such a course to allow us to timetable sessions in the playground to accommodate P6 cyclists.
Please read the attached parents guide to become familiar with the course content and complete the questionnaire by following the link below below. https://cycling.scot/media/d4bp0dfl/2024-07-03-parent-s-guide.pdf
