‘Social Bite’

As part of Scottish School Meals Week, the kitchen will be selling ‘Social Bite’ biscuits at break and lunch time tomorrow (Friday 4th November) .  The biscuits will cost 35p, 10p of which will be donated to Social Bite.  The biscuits must be paid for in cash at the time of purchase.  They cannot be purchased using money from your child’s school meal account.

Social Bite is a ‘Social Business’ – 100% of their profits are given to good causes and 1 in 4 of their team are formerly homeless people.  They also feed the local homeless community through their ‘Suspended Coffee and Food’ initiative.

 

Thank you

Parent Pay to go Live 19th October 2016

As advised in our information leaflet ParentPay, the new online payment system is being introduce to Busby Primary School.

Please ensure sufficient funds are available in your childs lunch account to last until Thursday 13th October.  If you currently use our online payment system Payments4Schools this will only be in operation until the end of day on Friday 7th October.  Pupils may still credit their lunch account via the reval machine located in the school.

You will be issued with an activation letter soon advising how to register for a ParentPay account.  All parents/carers are requested to register as the school office will become cashless, you will however still have the facility to credit your child’s lunch account only via the reval machine in the school.

Below is further information advising you on the new ParentPay which should be available from 17 October for school meals only. Trips taking place after the school holiday will be added then.

This system has been piloted within the authority and is proving very popular with parents.  We are confident you will be pleased with the benefits it will provide.

Welcome Back

A great start to the new school session.

All the children were looking very smart in their school uniforms, a big thank you to the parents for supporting this.

The weather has to be warm this week, please remember sun screen/hats and water bottles.

We will soon have our parent diary available for all those important diary dates.
