Parent Platforms

Parent Portal

All families should be able to access Parent Portal, this is done using your mygov account which you would use to pay for your council tax and any council bills.

This system allows us to send out permission forms, check your personal details for our annual data check and send out parent evening appointments.

Please see the details below on how you can sign up to Parent Portal.

Parent Pay

All families should be accessing Parent Pay; this is where you can choose your child’s school lunch and pay for trips. Please remember that even if your child has access to the universal free school meals offer from P1-P6 there is a cost associated with Breakfast Club unless families are in receipt of free meal entitlement benefit. You can check your balance on ParentPay at any time using your log in details.

We are encouraging all families to have access, if you do not have access then please contact the school office to get your pupil specific log in details

Easy Fundraising

Did you know that whenever you buy anything online from your weekly shop to your annual holiday you could be raising a free donation for our Parent Council? So far this year our Parent Council has received £146.16 of donations through East Fundraising.

There are nearly 3,000 retailers including Amazon, John Lewis, Aviva, the Trainline and Sainsbury’s, who will donate a percentage of the amount you spend to our Parent Council to say thank you for shopping with them.

It’s really simple, and doesn’t cost you anything.

All you have to do is:

1. Go to https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/hyndlandprimary/

2. Sign up for free

3. Get shopping – your donations will be collected by Easy Fundraising and automatically sent to our Parent Council. It couldn’t be easier!

There are no catches or hidden charges and we would be really grateful for your donations.

More information can be found through the EasyFundraising’s how to videos https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/raisemore/get-started/videos

Thank you for your support!

Water Bottles

This is a reminder to please send pupils to school with water (enough for a full day). On the occasions when they might forget/ run out, we do have water available. However, it is helpful if they come with their own water as a matter of routine.

Many thanks for your co-operation with this.

Request for Re-Homing Outgrown Clothing

If you have any underwear (pants, socks, tights) or trousers your wee one has outgrown, we would happily take donations for our ‘spares’ box – they come in really handy when there are little toilet accidents. Just hand to Ms Chambers in the playground if you can help.

Many thanks!

Car Free Zone

Our School is beginning an 18 month trial of a Car Free Zone on Fortrose Street on weekdays, during term time within the periods 8:30 – 9:15 am and 2:45 – 3:30pm. This is part of Glasgow City Council experimental Traffic Regulation Order.

Most traffic will NOT be permitted to move in Fortrose Street during the periods detailed above. This includes parents and families dropping off and collecting pupils. We, kindly, request the compliance and goodwill of our community in adhering to these measures to improve the health and safety of everyone.

Please note, exemptions apply for Blue Badge Holders, emergency and primary care vehicles as well as residents with permits for vehicles. These vehicles and some others will be allowed to park and move within the stated times. However, the measures should greatly reduce traffic around the school gate and encourage healthier and more environmentally friendly journeys to school. We encourage everyone to show understanding, kindness and respect for each other and the rules, as we all adjust to the new measures.
