In playground 1, Janny Brian has been building a new decking area for our pupils to enjoy, however until it is complete and risk assessed we ask that parents and pupils do not use the space that is cordoned off. HUGE thanks to Janny Brian for his summer super human efforts to transform playground one!

A reminder that pupils should choose their lunch at home as they did last session before they come into school. Our teachers will check this has been done first thing in the morning-please remember we cannot change the choice online of meal after it is made at home as it is locked by the system. However if a child is unhappy with their initial choice we will support them to have the lunch they would like.Our new P6 pupils and senior students in P7 are reminded that they are no longer eligible for the universal free school meal provision, unless they are entitled to a Free School Meal via application. Al applications should be renewed before the end of October via the GCC website . All lunch payment/settling of accounts from prior years must be made through ParentPay, as our kitchen no longer accepts cash payments. If you require login details then please contact the school office after 11am on Wednesday.

Please remember that if you are in receipt of the Free School Meals and Clothing Grant then you need to reapply for the continuance of that funding by October to ensure the entitlement does not lapse, further information can be found on Glasgow City Council’s website here: https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=17885

Over the summer our home-school communication platform, Seesaw, had some changes which might affect your access to the app and some families may require a new QR code to login. Further information will be sent out next week so that pupils can login at home.

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
