ALL schools and  educational establishments in East Ayrshire will be closed on Thursday 18 January.

This extends to primaries, secondaries, early childhood centres and special needs establishments, and to organisations who use these facilities out of hours. 

This is in response to an amber weather warning for more snow and ice coming our way this evening and into tomorrow morning, which will worsen current conditions.

We have taken this decision following advice from partners and colleagues in education, roads and transportation, and in the interests of ensuring the safety of pupils, parents, staff and carers. 

The situation will be closely monitored tomorrow (Thursday) before any decisions are taken for Friday.

Our dates for Primary 1 registration are :

Tuesday 16th January

Wednesday 17th January

Thursday 18th January

***

9.30 – 11.30 am

1.30 – 2.30 pm

Please report to the school office with your child’s

birth certificate and 2 items of proof of address.

Thanks

What a beautiful bride Miss Meechan was !

Congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Kerr!

On behalf of everyone at Gargieston Primary and Early Childhood Centre, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year as we welcome the children back to school at the beginning of this new term.

Following Mrs Wright’s departure, the management structure of the school will revert to the arrangement that was in place while Mrs Wright was supporting Catrine Primary School, with myself as Acting Head teacher and Mrs. Lawson and Mrs Beveridge sharing the Acting Depute Head teacher role.

Mrs Campbell will remain as Principal Teacher but will take on more management duties. This arrangement will remain in place until the appointment of a new permanent Head teacher.

Parents of children who are in classes where staffing is affected by these changes, will be e-mailed. As a management team, we look forward to our new roles and working in partnership with all pupils and families.

Mrs. McLaughland
