Survey of online payments and communication

Parents/Carers

The council is currently  reviewing  admin/clerical processes across the Education Depertment and also looking to improve upon the current online payments system.  Given the obvious link between both these pieces of work, we have created a short survey for parents/carers which we hope will capture your views on both preferred methods of general (admin type) communications with schools/pre-five establishments and also your thoughts on the online payment solution.

Inclusion Service – Thursday 8th October

Nursery – P7

Dear Parent / Carer

We would like to remind you that the Inclusion Service will be held on Thursday 8th October at 1.30pm in Orchardhill Parish Church – all parents are welcome to attend.  After the service the pupils will return to school for dismissal at the normal time.

Pupils in Primary 5 and Primary 6 will be leading the service and will be leaving the school early to prepare – together with choir members and pupils chosen to play guitar – we would therefore ask that these children do not have a home lunch that day.

The school will be closed to pupils on Friday 8th October (In Service day) and the following week for the October holiday with pupils returning on Monday 19th October at the normal time.

Curriculum Event – Tuesday 6 October 2015

Primary 1 – Primary 7

Dear Parent / Carer

If you had applied to take part in the workshops to be held at the Curriculum Event (Tuesday 6th October 2015) your youngest child will have brought home further information on Friday – please check their school bag.

The school will be open from 6.15pm to enable you to “sign in” for the evening and find the venue for your first workshop at 6.30pm.

You may find it helpful to bring the slip along on Tuesday to remind you of your chosen workshops for the evening.

Cycling in the playground

Dear Parent/Carer

It has been brought to my attention, again, that cyclists, both children and on some occasions adults are cycling in the school playground when arriving at the start of the school day and again before exiting the playground at home time. I highlighted this in the September Newsletter………………………

“Cycle Friendly we are proud of our cycle friendly status, however to avoid accidents may I once again remind all cyclists to dismount before entering the playground and push their bikes within all playground areas. Thank you for your support.”

However, this resulted on Thursday in a cyclist colliding with a parent.

I have since spoken to pupils and in the interest of health and safety for all I ask for your support in ensuring everyone follows these procedures.

Meet the Teacher

Dear Parents and Carers

We extend an invitation to you to come along and meet your child’s teacher on the evening of Wednesday 2nd September 2015.

This evening is designed for you to come along, meet your child’s teacher and find out a little about their time in nursery and school.  The teacher will be available to chat to you about what knowledge and skills your child will be learning, along with important class routines and tips.  You will have the opportunity to view some key resources and look at children’s displays.  The classrooms will be open between 6 and 7 pm.

The teacher will not be discussing individual children and progress.  An opportunity for this will be available during our formal parent/teacher interviews (November and March), or indeed if you have a concern a pre arranged appointment.

The Parent Council will be in school and they hope parents will take a few minutes to find out how you can join, about the wonderful work they do and how you can support them and the school.  They hope you will share with them some ideas on future council projects.

We look forward to meeting you on the 2nd September.
