HT Update – 1st Sept 22

Proposed Industrial Action – 6th – 8th September

It is intended that all early years establishments, nurseries, primary, secondary and additional support needs schools will be closed between Tuesday 6 and Thursday 8 September (inclusive) due to industrial action which is affecting many councils across Scotland.

The industrial action by UNISON and Unite trade unions affects all staff (with the exception of teachers) in early years, nursery and school settings.

Children should not attend school during the three days of strike action. There will be online learning for children and young people over the three days.

Schools and educational establishments cannot operate for pupils without janitorial, cleaning, catering, technicians, early years and other school support staff.

Teachers, early years and other support staff who are not striking, will continue to work from their place of work over the strike days.

If you are in receipt of free school meals on the basis of low income, we will make arrangements to reimburse you in the same way as the free school meal summer payment. This will be through a direct payment to your bank account or via Paypoint voucher to your postal address and may take up to five working days.

We will be in touch regarding online learning for pupils before the strike days begin.

School will be open as normal on Monday 5th & Friday 9 September.

PE Kit

  • Black Shorts
  • White t-shirt
  • Gym shoes or trainers

If you child doesn’t have a white t-shirt then a Lawmuir polo shirt is acceptable.

To help us get to gym quickly try to wear your PE Kit under your school uniform. If this is not something you can do you will still be able to change.

Water Bottles

Please do not allow your child to bring an umbrella to school.  These can be dangerous in the playground and could cause an accident. If you do use an umbrella we ask that parents take them home again when their child enters the playground.

Umbrellas

Please do not allow your child to bring an umbrella to school.  These can be dangerous in the playground and could cause an accident. If you do use an umbrella we ask that parents take them home again when their child enters the playground.

Wasps

To try and avoid stings pupils are having snack indoors before/after breaks for the time being.  We will review this and let you know when it changes to be back outside. If you are in an upstairs class is would be helpful to have your snack in your bag rather than your lunch box (as these are left downstairs).

After School Clubs

Miss Harper has been working hard to arrange after school clubs for pupils.  Look out for letters coming home offering these to you.  Should you be successful a further letter will be issued asking you to give permission for your child.

More clubs and the details will be shared soon

P4-7 Basketball – Mondays

P1-3 Football – Wednesday

P4-7 Dance – Thursday
