It is hard to believe that we have only 4 weeks of the school session left.
June is always a very busy month. Please see the information at the bottom of this post outlining what is on in School.
Congratulations
Many congratulations to Enzo, Janey, and Max who all received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion at the weekend. This is such an important event in their faith journey. Please keep them in your prayers.
Parent Questionnaires
Thank you to all of you who took the time to complete the questionnaires at our Pupil Progress Meeting evening.
Please see attached the information gathered from this. We will use this information to plan for improvements.
ATTENDANCE
Please ensure you contact the school office if your child is absent. You can do this by submitting an absence report on the school app, by emailing (eastpatricks.ps@eastayrshire.org.uk) or by calling the school. If there is no answer please leave a recorded message.
Attendance in St. Patrick’s Primary remains inline with national averages but for some families attendance continues to be a barrier to learning. Absence has a direct impact on learning and can lead to poor attendance in later school years. We know that non attendance at school can happen for lots of different reasons and we want to work with families to support good attendance.
Please help us promote attendance at school during the month of June.

This is completely optional – if you want to stay dry – keep off the grass! There will be no changing facilities available so a towel to dry off will be essential. If your child travels on school transport they must bring a towel and a plastic covering to sit on on the bus, e.g a tarpaulin, black bin bag.
