Part of the summer term has always been the whole school trip, with many fond memories made.

With the cost increasing we are very mindful of keeping the price manageable for families. Our trip this session to the science centre will be on Monday 16^th June with a cost of £10 per child that can be paid through ParentPay. Our wonderful parent council is supporting us to keep the price down to this level by meeting the shortfall.

We will have a visit to the centre with an additional activity so it will be a busy day. We are also not encouraging pupils to go to the shop as again we are thinking of the cost to all. 

Pupils should bring packed lunches, or they can be ordered through ParentPay now.

Friday 9th May is Ochiltree Primary School’s Big Day OOT (Ochiltree Out Together). Please ensure your child comes to school with appropriate clothing for the scheduled weather.

Thank you.

Lukas in Primary 4 took part in Glasgow Kilt Walk last Sunday to raise funds for prostate cancer. Lukas’ team raised over £1000.00 for the charity! Take a look ………..

Dear parent / carer

From Monday 10^th March we are introducing a new Cashless Catering system in your child’s school.

Catering Services recognised that it was time to update their cashless payment system. They researched and engaged with companies to find a system that is straightforward and easy for you to use. They have also ensured that the system utilises the latest technology available.

A video has been prepared to help you book a school meal for the first time – How to book a meal – ParentPay (wistia.com)

Meals will continue to be ordered through ParentPay.

You will log in to ParentPay and select school meals. Then all you have to do is check the menus, select a meal for your child then they collect it at lunchtime as normal.

ParentPay knows if your child qualifies for a free school meal so you can order with the knowledge that no payment is required. If your child pays for their school meal, you will have to make payment within two hours of the meal being ordered.

Meals must be ordered by 8am and can be ordered up to three weeks in advance. You can make your first meal booking from the evening of Friday 7^th March.

Please note that any existing meal bookings, from Monday, 10^th March will need to be rebooked.

Additional allergen and dietary information:

The new system will also have improved allergy and dietary management, so you can be confident that special dietary requirements are observed. Make sure this information is up to date by contacting your school.

If you have provided current dietary information for your child, this will be updated on the new system and will block any meal choices that contain approved allergens.

The system is also a useful information tool for parents and carers in displaying allergen information linked to each online menu item this includes all information for pupils following religious and lifestyle diets.

All Children will be able to view the Book Fair from 24h – 28th March and parents will be able to purchase books (subject to availability) on our Parents’ Day/Evening using a QR code and on the morning of Friday 28th March. If there are any issues using the QR code the office will be able to set-up a payment plan on ParentPay.

Please see attached poster.
