Absences – Parents/carers must phone or email the school office to inform of any pupil absences.  Please do not inform teachers via Seesaw or when they are collecting their lines from the playground as this important information may not be passed on in a timely manner.

Attendance/ lateness –  Part of our responsibility in school is to monitor attendance. Due to Covid-19 we recognise that there has been increased absence for many pupils (and sometimes this has been as a precautionary measure).  We are currently running a check on pupil absence for the school year. Therefore if your child’s attendance has fallen below 90% we will be in touch over this week or next to make you aware of this.  We are also monitoring late arrivals at school and will be in touch with families to make you aware if your child is regularly arriving after 9 am.

Water bottles – please send a named water bottle daily. The bottle should contain only water, no juice (unless we have a letter explaining the need for this). The bottle should be taken home and washed daily.

P7 leavers’ arrangements – An email has gone out to P7 families with provisional plans for the last week of term.   We plan to hold a Last Day of Term Service at the Parish Church, 30th June at 10 am.

Fife Child Protection team has asked us to alert parents of a new viral video of a character named ‘Huggy Wuggy’ that is being shared widely through online channels at the moment. Videos of the animated blue bear – like creature with razor sharp teeth has leaked through many parental controls due to its name which has the ability to infiltrate firewalls and filters.  In some Fife settings many  younger children are recreating playground type games associated with this character which encourages inappropriate and worrying behaviour. They ask that all parents/carers be vigilant in checking parental controls on devices used by their children.
