Dear Parents and Carers,
We are excited to share that our Primary 6 classes are supporting the charity Refuweegee by organising a collection of toiletry donations. This fantastic cause helps to support those who have been displaced and are starting a new life in Glasgow.
We kindly ask for your support by donating any of the following items:
  • Shampoo and conditioner
  • Shower gel
  • Soap
  • Shaving foam and razors
  • Nappies
  • Toilet roll
  • Deodorant
All donations can be brought to school and P6 pupils will visit classes to collect. Please bring any donations to school by
Thursday 19th December.
We greatly appreciate your generosity in helping us make a difference to those in need.
Thank you for your support!
Kind regards,
P6 pupils and teachers

Norovirus

We have had several outbreaks of sickness and diarrhoea in school recently.

If your child has diarrhoea and/or vomiting they should not attend school until at least 48 hours after symptoms have stopped and they are well enough to return.

Please remember to phone in your child’s absence to the absence reporting line at:

0141 471 3710   or   0141 287 0039

and please cancel any lunches ordered on ParentPay

Please see NHS Inform for further help and advice:

Showbie Class Groups

This year we will use Showbie groups to communicate with you at class level.  This will be for class information, reminders, photos and anything that applies to the class, that doesn’t need to be shared with the rest of the school.

To join your class Showbie group, your child will give you a code.

Further help about joining a group can be found via Showbie’s website  – Showbie groups help

The class group will be announcements only, so any help you need or to alert the class teacher to something going on, should be directed to the management team via the school office 0141 637 6798

or by email to the Head Teacher via this form.
