Dear parent/carer,
Staffing News
We’re absolutely delighted to announce that, following interview on Wednesday, Angela Kerr (PT) has been successful in securing an Acting Head Teacher post at Cartmill Family Centre. She will take up her new position from Monday 28th February and we know that she will do a wonderful job in her new and exciting role! We will of course miss her very much but, as she isn’t far away and remains in the Williamwood Cluster, we will be able to continue to work closely together. As this is an acting post, we will of course keep you informed of any future developments. All the very best, Angela!
Road Safety
Please could we remind all parents and carers how important it is to park responsibly during school drop off and pick up times. Recently, there have been incidences where cars have been parked illegally or dangerous, blocking roads and parked in bus stops. The Staff Car Park should also not be used for drop off or collection purposes. We would strongly encourage all families to ‘park and stride’, allowing adequate time to park your vehicle in a safe location, and walk your child / ren to and from school, thus reducing the volume of traffic and the potential for accidents to occur. Please remember that East Renfrewshire Council’s Community Wardens are contactable on ‘111’ should you witness any illegal or dangerous parking. Allowing extra time, in order to get everyone to and from school safely, is so important and, as always, we really appreciate your support with this.
