Hello everyone<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

We have thoroughly enjoyed having all of our children back in school.\u00a0 They have appeared so happy to be back and are settling in really well.\u00a0 We also had many new children and families starting with us on Wednesday too and it has been a pleasure to welcome you all into the Netherlee school community. The school is once again full of happy, excited and enthusiastic children and staff\u00a0J\u00a0– what more could a HT and school community hope for, as we look forwards to a productive school year and positive times ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

COMMUNICATION:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0As always, please remember that we are here to help at any time and no question, or concern, is ever too small.\u00a0 Please don\u2019t feel that you are taking up our time and wondering or worrying about something at home.\u00a0 We can very often sort, fix or resolve things very quickly for your child so please do get in touch with myself, either of my two Depute Heads (Julie Roberts or Lynn Sweeney), the stage leaders or your child\u2019s class teacher at any time- just call the school office\u00a0<\/span>(570 7260)\u00a0<\/span>and ask for the appropriate person to call you back or, email\u00a0<\/span>(SchoolMail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk)and<\/a><\/span> someone will get back to you very quickly.\u00a0 Please avoid placing notes in schoolbags as this is an unreliable method of communication.\u00a0 Children often forget to hand letters to their teacher or notes can get lost or misplaced.\u00a0 Our email and phone systems of communication really do work fantastically well and these are the safest and most efficient way of getting in touch with us.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

SCHOOL UNIFORM:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Our children have returned to school looking very smart in their school uniform and we greatly value and appreciate your support with this.\u00a0 Children can of course continue to wear the school burgundy hoodie indoors as I\u2019m aware that many families have bought several, additional hoodies last session.\u00a0 ERC Education Department is currently reviewing its Dressing for Excellence Policy and I will of course share this with you when it is available.\u00a0 I\u2019m delighted by the response to our Uniform Recycling Rails- many parents have made use of this initiative already and we will continue to run this each week, on a Friday, at the following times:\u00a0Primaries 1 \u2013 3 8.50am-9am Clarkston Road Gate and\u00a0Primaries 4 \u2013 7 3.05pm- 3.15pm Side Gate, next to Acorns Nursery.\u00a0 Please just pop by and help yourself to anything that you can make use of- there is a super selection of items available- thank you to the many parents who have also donated items for this.\u00a0 The Red Donations Box is always available at the top of the main entrance, outdoor stairs and we continue to be very grateful for your ongoing uniform donations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

FULL PE HAS RETURNED TO THE CURRICULUM:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0We are delighted that we are now able to reintroduce indoor PE. \u00a0However, as it isn\u2019t safe for children to undertake indoor PE, nor the full PE curriculum without changing into dry, PE appropriate shoes, from Monday 30th<\/sup>\u00a0August, children will require to bring a pair of trainers, or similar, to school\u00a0to change into<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0on PE Days. Your child\u2019s teacher will let you and your child know which days they have PE and this additional pair of PE shoes can be left in school, in a named bag, or can be brought home each day, whichever is most convenient for you.\u00a0\u00a0 In addition to this, children can now get changed for PE lessons.\u00a0 We are going to reintroduce this gradually within the school and therefore children can continue to wear a school polo shirt on PE Days and only require to change the bottom part of their uniform into black (if possible) shorts or black (again, if possible) tracksuit trousers.\u00a0 If children prefer, they can continue to wear a shirt and tie on PE days, and simply remove their tie for the lesson.\u00a0 Please get in touch if you require any help with this. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

SNIP AND HOMEWORK:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0We are always very interested to listen to the views of our parent community and, in line with our new School and Nursery Improvement Plan 2021-2022 (SNIP) which is available to view on our website\u00a0<\/span>(https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/<\/a>)\u00a0<\/span>this session, we are keen to get your views on Homework within Netherlee.\u00a0 We will very soon be carrying out a review of our Homework Policy and your views, as well as the views of teachers and pupils, will be sought as part of this review.\u00a0 We will be in touch soon about this however, in the meantime, we will continue to use Google Classrooms for posting homework which will start week beginning 30th<\/sup>\u00a0August.\u00a0 Please ensure that your child can log into their Class Google Classroom prior to homework starting and if they have any problems at all with this, or with any aspect of accessing their homework via Google Classrooms, please get in touch as soon as possible and we will be able to help with this.\u00a0 P1 parents, further information\u00a0 will be sent home to you next week so please wait until you receive this from us.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n

MEET THE TEACHER:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0We had very much hoped that we would be able to welcome you back into the school for our annual \u201cMeet the Teacher\u201d session.\u00a0 However, as per Scottish Government guidance, we are not able to do this quite yet however, next week, I will share information with you about our online version of this coming up very soon. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

FREE Swim lessons Letter -Sep-Oct 2021 from ERC<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you may have some very tired children coming home from school today after a busy first week back at school.\u00a0 I hope they, and you, have a restful and lovely weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n
