Dear Parents / Carers

As you may be aware, the Scottish Government has granted 2 additional in-service days, to be held in academic year 2019-20, as part of the recent teachers’ pay award.    It has been agreed that the additional in-service days will be:

•  Tuesday 24^th September 2019
• Friday 3^rd April 2020

Please note that all schools and ECCs will be closed to pupils on these dates.  Local arrangements may be adapted in ECCs to ensure the provision of stated hours.

This term pupils in Primary 1, Primary 2/1, Primary 3/2 & Primary 3 are taking part in a fabulous Outdoor Learning programme.  Can we please ask that, where possible, pupils have wellingtons and waterproofs every Wednesday to wear.

Please note that children taking part in music lessons should bring their instruments to school on the following days:

• Monday – Strings
• Tuesday – Pipes
• Wednesday – Brass
• Friday – Cello

Can we please ask that all items (jackets, clothes, ties, shoes, bags, lunchbags, water bottles etc) belonging to your child are clearly labelled with their name.  We have already reunited many  items that have wandered away from their owners this term, however, items without names make it much harder in getting them back to pupils.  Your help in keeping items with their rightful owners is very much appreciated.

As we have several pupils and staff within our school who have severe nut allergies, we would be grateful if you could ensure that all snacks and packed lunches sent into school do not contain any products containing nuts (eg. Nutella, chocolate spread, Beuno Bars, M& M’s, Reese’s Pieces etc).

Exposure to nut contamination can occur when a person handles nuts or nut products as the residual dust/oil can remain on skin for several hours after.  Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction to a trigger such as an nut allergy.

As part of the LPS Community, your co-operation with this matter is much appreciated.
