Primary 7 Hoodies
Primary 7 Hoodies’
This year we have decided to order the P7 ‘Hoodies’ now instead of in the last term. This will give the children the opportunity to enjoy wearing them throughout the year and also wear them to Lockerbie Manor in October.
The cost will be £15 and be paid by ‘Parentpay’ and must be paid before the order goes away on Wednesday 30th August.
Each ‘hoody’ will be embroidered with the school crest on the front, a generic print on the back with every child in P7’s’ name on it and will be royal blue in colour.
Academy uniforms will be coming on Tuesday 29th August to measure children for sizes.
It will not be possible to add to the order after it has been sent away so if you wish to purchase a ‘hoody’ for your child, please complete the tear off slip which has been sent home and return to school by Monday 28th August.
Meet the Teacher Evening
Meet the Teacher Evening –Thursday 31st August 2017 6.00pm – 7.00pm
Wepropose to open the doors of the school on the evening of the Thursday 31stAugust and cordially invite you to visit the school. This will be an
opportunity to meet your child’s teacher and gain information about the
programme for the year ahead. You can also look around the school and visitother classes and even take a wander through our junior department building viathe link corridor.
Pleasenote that this event is a general invitation to all parent/carers and thereforeit should not to be used to discuss individual pupil progress. I would suggestthat this is best done by separate appointment, parents’ evening, etc.
Pleasefeel free to drop in for a short while any time between 6.00pm and 7.00pm andnote that there will be a high volume of traffic in and around the school asnoted from past experience. Whilst I appreciate the logistics for child carearrangements, this event, where possible, should be attended by parents/carers
only.
Forthcoming Masses
Primary 7 pupils will walk to St Vincent’s Church next Friday 1st September and will be the first year group this session to attend First Friday Mass. Suitable clothing approriate to the weathe should be worn.
