All parents and carers are invited to attend the AM of the Parent Council on Monday 11th September, 6.30pm, Williamwood High School.
Links to the agenda and a guide to the roles and responsibilities of the parent council can be found below.
The Parent Council is looking for parents old and new to join them but if you would prefer to come along to meet everyone, and hear about what we do, you will be made very welcome.
All parents are invited to our “Meet the Staff” evening on Wednesday 6th August, at 6.30pm when Mr Weir will give a short presentation on our school targets for this year. Following this there will be a choice of two sessions, 7.00-7.30pm and 7.30-8.00pm in your child’s classroom.
This will be an opportunity to informally meet with your child’s class teacher to find out about class routines and the exciting learning experiences that are planned. This event is aimed at parents only so we would ask that children remain at home on this occasion.
There will be a Leadership Assembly on Friday 1st September at 1.45pm at Busby Parish Church. Parents of pupils receiving Leadership awards will be invited in due course.
We have arranged for the school photographer to come to the school on Friday 25th August from 9.00am, pupils should wear full school uniform.
They will take class groups, family groups and individual photographs. You are under no obligation to buy the photographs.
