Hello everyone
Open Classrooms
We are very much looking forward to welcoming parents into school on Friday 14th October for Open Classrooms. As indicated in the Dates for your Diary previously issued we invite P1-4 parents between 9.30 and 10am and ask that you enter via the Clarkston Road Gate. Please use the doors to the right of the ramp to both enter and leave the school. P5-7 parents, we look forward to welcoming you between 11.15 and 11.45am and we ask you to enter and exit via the main front door at reception. We request a maximum of two adults per child.
Our children and staff are looking forward to seeing you then if you are able to join us, but please don’t worry if you can’t make it along this time, there are other similar opportunities spread throughout the session.
