Bring a Parent to School Day is back!!!
We are delighted that Covid mitigations have now eased and we can welcome our families back into school!
We would like to invite parents/carers into school to visit your child’s class, see their work and meet their teacher.
This will take place over a series of Wednesday afternoons leading up to the October holidays. (Classes, dates and times can be found below).
Please enter the school via the Community Entrance. At the end of each session, parents/carers will be able to leave, to go to their child’s exit point. This will allow our Covid cleaning procedures to take place before the school bell rings and children are brought outside.

Wednesday 21st September 2.15-2.45pm: P3 (Mrs Elliott)

Our classes will be showcasing our Active Literacy and Numeracy resources and we will have parental information packs available for you to take away, to help you when supporting your child’s learning at home.
We look forward to welcoming you all back into the school building and thank you in anticipation of your support with this.
P7 Residential Trip- Lockerbie Manor
Thank you to all our parents who were able to come along on Wednesday evening to our Residential Information Session. I hope everyone found it useful and are excited about our P7 adventure!
For those who were unable to make it, I have attached the PowerPoint that was shown on Wednesday to this post. All P7 pupils have been shown this PowerPoint and should be able to talk their adults through it.
All P7’s have also received a letter today outlining details of the trip. If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact Mrs Clarke at the school.
The Parent Pay link has gone LIVE today. the link is for the MAXIMUM COST, but only £50 is needed as a non-refundable deposit to secure a spot on the residential. Deposits must be paid by WEDNESDAY 14th SEPTEMBER. If you have any questions around this please contact the school.
We are hoping to keep the cost as low as possible, but as I’m sure you will understand, we are obligated to tell you what the maximum cost is in case we cannot secure additional funding.
We are all looking forward to this amazing trip to make memories that will last a lifetime!

And so much more!
The provisional dates we have secured are Wednesday 19th April- Friday 21st April.
We plan to fundraise to keep the costs as low as possible for parents, and the school will make a contribution to the cost as well. There will however be a cost involved for parents, which will be finalised in the coming days.
