Nursery to P1 Transition

 

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope you are all well and the children are enjoying being back at nursery in the Spring Sunshine! We have lots of exciting things happening for transition in our summer term. We plan to send you videos from our Primary 1 staff and from our pupils so that you can get to know them better.  We are making plans for a visit to the school and will be in touch with further information once we have received guidance from the authority. I have also been making phone calls to all of our nurseries this week.  It has been so lovely to speak with key workers and nursery staff and have the opportunity to find out about the children’s likes, strengths and character. I will use this information to help me create the classes.  Look out for a letter of introduction from your child’s teacher.

I have been blown away by the response to our Runaway Pizza Activity.  Thank you so much for all of the wonderful photographs of the children’s pizzas.  We now have a lovely Transition Display ready for your child starting school. It’s not too late to send in your photograph.  You can send it to enquiries@cumbernauld-pri.n-lanark.sch.uk  .

Today, I have sent you a PowerPoint Tour of the school.  I hope that this will give you and your child a little taster of what our school looks like on the inside and also what the children get up to each week. I’m sure you will understand that Coronavirus has impacted on some of our weekly activities and routines but I wanted to give you a flavour of our whole school in the hope that things will be able to return to some form of normality in the future.  The PowerPoint will also be added to our Transition Area on our website.  Please use the link below to watch and discuss the slide show with your child.

Thank you so much for supporting the school to ensure a smooth and happy transition for your child.

Kindest regards.

COVID-19 – Reporting Arrangements for the Spring break

Dear Parents/Carers, 

COVID-19 – Reporting Arrangements for the Spring break 

Please note that there is no requirement for you to notify me of any positive test results for Covid-19 from the 2nd April until 18th April (inclusive) as alternative arrangements are now in place. Contact tracers and/or a senior officer from North Lanarkshire Council will be in touch with the family if their child is positive and was in school during their infectious period.

I trust this clarifies the position.

 

Yours sincerely

Ed Clinton

Head Teacher

Spring Hardship Payment

Dear Parent/Carer,

Spring Hardship Payment

I write to make you aware of the Spring hardship payment available from North Lanarkshire Council.

The payment is a Scottish Government grant of £100 made to all children who receive free meals in a school or early learning and childcare setting due to household low income or qualifying benefits.

Who will receive the payment?

  • Children in P4 to S6 who receive free school meals will be eligible for the payment.
  • Children in P1 to P3 currently receive universal free school meals. The payment will only be made to those children in P1 to P3 who are eligible due to low income or qualifying benefits. So, not all P1 to P3 children will receive the payment.
  • Younger children in an early learning and childcare setting who receive free meals due to low income or qualifying benefits will also receive the payment.

Is the payment per family or per child?

  • A payment of £100 will be made for each eligible child in the household.

What is the deadline for applications?

  • To qualify for the £100 payment all applications must be submitted by the end of school term on Thursday 1 April 2021.

Further information can be accessed at:
