The letter attached below was issued to all S1-S3 pupils last week and will be issued to other yeargroups on their return from Study Leave next week.
East Renfrewshire were last week given permission for 3 exceptional closure days for pupils to allow staff to prepare for the move to the new building.
The school will now close for pupils on Friday 23rd June instead of Tuesday 27th June as originally planned. The new school will open to pupils after the holidays on Thursday 17th August, one day later than originally planned.
Teachers will be in school on these days and the time will be used on the June days to help pack up the items that require to move to the new school, and on the August day, to unpack at the other side.
I recognise this may cause inconvenience for some parents but I hope all parents will appreciate the scale of the task facing us at this time and the necessity for this additional time to ensure the new school is ready for pupils arriving in August.
The letter also draws attention to an opportunity to buy uniform from Mansworld in the school on Monday 12th June.
Mr Sinclair
