Chatter Café
All nursery and school parents and carers are very welcome to come along to our Chatter Café on Wednesday 13th September from 9:10am until 10am in our school Hub. This is an extremely informal opportunity to chat to members of the Leadership Team and to meet other parents and carers to share your thoughts and ideas about any aspect of Netherlee life! You’ll also be able to enjoy some tea, coffee and delicious home baking, made and served by a group of pupils too! Please do pop in if you can- we really look forward to seeing you.
Flu Vaccination Programme
Just a kind reminder that if you have not yet returned your child’s consent form, to please have this returned to the school office asap.
Uploading Homework to Google Classroom
Please find a helpful link to a document which gives step by step instructions regarding how to upload Home Learning tasks to Google Classroom. This is a fast and easy way to upload your child’s digital work in time for Feedback Friday! The upload feature on Google Classroom should only be used for any digital items such as PowerPoint presentations, videos, photographs etc.
Like last session, Home Learning jotters will be provided for all children to record, gather and evidence their work. The jotters should be used to detail all learning that has taken place at home and will be a record of all home learning produced. Could we kindly ask, in order to prevent our school email system from clogging up with large attachments, that any digital presentations be uploaded via Google Classroom only as detailed above, and not emailed to the school. Thank you for your continued support with this.
Celebrating Wider Achievements at Netherlee
We would like to continue to invite you to share information about a recent wider achievement that your child has done by completing the Wider Achievements form below. We are always looking for ways to recognise and celebrate our children’s wider achievements out with Netherlee. As detailed in our Promoting Positive Behaviour Policy, during stage assemblies each month, certificates are awarded to pupils who have really tried to uphold the Netherlee Values, for Effort and Progress and for Achievements within and out with school. For example, many of our children take part in extracurricular clubs and competitions, charity work or simply have learnt a new life skill. We will check this form regularly so that we can celebrate as many children’s achievements as possible.

P7 Residential Trip 2023-2024: Information Evening
One of the exciting aspects of being in P7 is our annual Residential Trip. With that in mind I would like to invite you and your child to an information evening in our atrium at 7pm on Tuesday 19th September to share the details of this.
We have made a booking with Scout Adventures Lochgoilhead (LGH) for 28th– 31st May and Liam from LGH will be joining us to lead a presentation and answer any questions you may have.
Children are welcome to come along to the meeting to find out about the residential week. We would ask that all children refrain from having their mobile phones out (if they have one) during this meeting.
After the meeting we will send further information in relation to the trip. We look forward to seeing you on 19th September.
