Uniform<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I am pleased to see almost all children wearing their school uniform this session and would like to thank parents for their support with this. If you have not done so already, please ensure that items of clothing, including jackets, are labelled with your child\u2019s name to avoid loss. Clothing grants for school uniforms can be accessed online at www.glasgow.gov.uk<\/strong><\/a> as we are no longer provided with paper forms.<\/p>\n

P.E.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

P.E. often takes place outside. Please ensure your child has appropriate P.E. kit for indoor and outdoor P.E.<\/p>\n

Homework<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Homework will be issued in various formats, but most often, homework will be issued and completed via Seesaw.<\/p>\n

Dropping off and Collecting Children<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We continue with our soft start and end to the day with gates and doors open from 8.50am and again from 2.50pm.<\/p>\n

Parent Council<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Please consider joining our small, friendly Parent Council group. We would love to have your support and views. If you would be interested, please contact me through the school office. Language\u00a0 barriers are not an issue as interpreters can be arranged.<\/p>\n

Parent Council Coffee and Chat<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Mrs Haq (Chair of Parent Council) continues to run these coffee mornings every Thursday morning, beginning on 7th<\/sup> September. Feel free to pop in for a chat and to meet other families.<\/p>\n

Healthy Eating<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please support our healthy eating initiative by providing healthy snacks and lunches in regular size portions. No takeaways or items such as family size bags or crisps or packs of pastries are permitted. Please remember to provide your child with a water bottle.<\/p>\n

Absence during term time<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Please be aware that we cannot authorise or support term time travel as this has a negative impact on your child\u2019s learning. Any travel arrangements made during term time will require supporting evidence, such as travel documents to be presented to the school office. We also require you to contact the school to arrange an appointment to complete school paperwork regarding any planned travel and have this approved by a member of the school management team. Due to school waiting lists in the area, extensive travel may result in your child being removed from the school roll. Please support your child by ensuring maximum attendance. Absence in term time leads to reduced attainment and may result in your child not achieving their expected academic levels.<\/p>\n

Sickness<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Please contact the school if your child is unwell and cannot attend school.<\/p>\n

Seesaw<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This is our default method for communication with children and families due to the high cost of text messaging. Please ensure you have the Seesaw Family app downloaded and that the school has a parental email address. Contact the school office should you require any assistance setting this up.<\/p>\n

School Holiday Dates 2023-2024: Please keep on your fridge!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
