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.

Primary 1 Active and Healthy Workshop
Today, our Pupil Sports Leaders, presented to the P1 parents a variety of different games, sports and activities that they could try out with their children. The session started with a presentation from our Active Schools Co-ordinator, Lesley Birrell Palmer and our PE Specialist Laura Kerr. There was the a practical workshop outdoors in the playground, where all P1 pupils loved participating with the adults.
