Children at Sgoil na Coille Nuaidh will line up in the playground, outside the double doors at the fence beside the James Hamilton ECC outside play area. Their class teacher will then greet the children at the door and walk them to their class each morning.<\/p>\n

The children will line up in the playground, outside their classroom door just before 8:50am. The class teachers will then welcome the children into the class each morning.<\/p>\n

At 2:50pm, the children will leave school via the same double doors that they entered in the morning, into the playground. A known, responsible adult should be in the playground to collect your child at this time.<\/p>\n

If you are late in the morning or running late at the end of the school day, please inform the main school office. This will allow us to let the class teacher, and your child, know and prevent any unnecessary worry.<\/p>\n

If your child is going to be absent from school, you must phone the school on the first morning of their absence. You can then let the office staff know how long you anticipate your child will not attend school. If you do not, a member of our office staff will contact you or your emergency contacts by phone each day of the absence.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Travelling to School<\/span><\/h2>\n

Children can walk, scoot or cycle to school and we have a bicycle shed and scooter rack. Children must bring a chain to lock their bike or scooter up when they are in class.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When crossing the road remember to:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

School Uniform<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our school uniform is very smart. We ask that parents\/carers put their child’s name on all of their school clothes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

PE Kit<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

On your child’s PE days, they can come to school dressed in their trainers, school jumper\/polo shirt and joggers\/shorts\/leggings. They should not wear any jewellery on PE days<\/strong> so it would be best to remove piercings at home prior to coming to school. No football strips are allowed as part of the PE kit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Water<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

In school, you are allowed to drink plan water when you get thirsty. Juice and flavoured water must be kept until lunchtime. Please put your child’s name on their water bottle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Snack<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

At break time, children can bring 1 small snack and it should come to school in their school bag, not in their lunch box as it will be safely tucked away until 12:15pm!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lunch Time<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

For lunch, children can have the choice of having a school lunch, bringing their own packed lunch or going home for lunch.<\/p>\n

School lunches are free for all children in Primaries 1 – 5. Click the link below to view the latest school lunch menus.<\/p>\n
