Home and School Links
A close partnership between home and school is essential if children are to benefit fully from their time at school. If you have any concerns about your child please arrange an appointment with the head teacher at your earliest convenience. We would rather know about concerns as soon as possible so we can dismiss them before they become any bigger. All concerns are taken seriously and support put in place as soon as possible with an agreed date arranged to check on progress.
There are presently a number of ways in which the school seeks to develop and strengthen links with parents and these can be identified as:
- Information Evening –Aug/Sept at the start of each session
- Parent Evening – These visits will take place in October and March each year. This is an opportunity to come along to the school and discuss your child’s progress.
- Written Reports to which comments are invited – June each session.
- Monthly Newsletters
- School Website: www.cleland.n-lanark.sch.uk
- School Twitter: Twitter@cleland_ps
- Induction Programme for the Primary 1 intake (parents will be notified in advance)
- Parent Open Afternoons and workshops (Parents will be notified in advance)
- Homework. Parents are provided with activities to help their children throughout the year.
- Parent Council. This is open to all parents with meetings taking place, usually every five weeks. Parent Council contact: e-mail:david.torley@hotmail.co.uk
- Parent helpers-please contact the office. We are always delighted to welcome new parents to help us in a variety of ways.
