Hello everyone
Parent/Teacher Meeting Appointments
As detailed in our Calendar of Events, our upcoming Parent/Teacher Meetings will be held on Wednesday 1st November and Thursday 2nd November.
The first named contact on our system will receive a separate email from us at 4pm, advising how to book an appointment. If you have any enquiries about this, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our office staff who will be happy to help.
Return of school reading books – we need your help please!
Every year we replenish and update some of our school reading scheme books and novels. To help us to keep track of our resources, we would really appreciate it if you can have a quick look at home to see if you have any books from the following school reading schemes which haven’t been returned to school: Oxford Reading Tree, Tree Tops, Big Cats, Rapid Readers and novels. All texts should have a Netherlee Primary School stamp on the inside cover. Please place these in our ‘Recycled Donations’ box at the main school entrance or place them in your child’s bag next week. We really appreciate your help!
Feedback Friday
Just a reminder that on Friday, it is Feedback Friday. Can all home learning jotters/project work be brought into school with your child- thank you.
Recycled Uniform Rails
Just a wee reminder that our recycled uniform rails are available each Friday, between 8.50am – 9am (P1-3 smaller items) and 3pm – 3.10pm (P4-P7 middle and larger sizes) at the Clarkston Road School Gate. These items are free of charge so please do pop along and make use of this facility. We have got a good number of our burgundy badged waterproof outdoor jackets available just now so, with the change in weather, please do pop by and help yourself. Also remember that we are happy to look out items for you if you can’t make it along on a Friday, just email in to school using the usual link SchoolMail@netherlee.e-renfrew.sch.uk, letting us know the item and size and we will have a look for you.
Uniform Items – Pop on a Name Please
Many of the uniform items found in lost property do not have children’s names on them which makes it really difficult to return them to their rightful owners. Please could we ask that all uniform items are clearly labelled with your child’s name and class so we can reunite any lost items with the correct child…thank you.
