Week beginning 26th March

Below is a copy of the letter which will be issued on Monday

Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank you to all who came to our Parents’ Night on Thursday. It was lovely to see so many of our families and share your child’s learning with you.

 

I am still collating the responses from the questionnaire and hope to have a summary out to parents by the end of the week.

 

One area that was raised by a few parents was communication. This is something we can work on and already have a few plans in place to try to improve this.

 

Thanks to those who answer the quick questions regarding the new layout. 69 families responded give us an average of 4.7 stars out of 5.

 

The new layout to Parents’ Night was received well. Most comments were positive but again we will look at the few concerns some parents had in order to improve this.

 

Our Easter Service is on Tuesday at 11am in Newarthill Parish Church. We have pupils from all stages leading parts of the service. We hope you can join us.

 

We have planned a treat day with a range of activities for the pupils on Thursday.

 

Reminder that school closes at 2.30pm on Thursday for the Easter Break.

 

We would like to wish all our families a wonderful Easter.

 

School returns on Monday 16th April.

 

Thank you

P6 Anti-Bullying Assembly

This morning we welcomed family and friends of Primary 6 to our Anti-Bullying Assembly.  Primary 6 delivered a very important message of what bullying is and how we can best deal with situations when they arise. They shared with us different forms of bullying and how it can affect people.  The message was presented in a very entertaining way with songs, poems and interactive anti-bullying scenarios.
