In order to provide parents with more timely information with regards to homework concerns the Maths and English Departments are going to run a trial where they will text parents regarding homework concerns.

There are a number of reasons why we feel this will be more beneficial:

• The process is much more efficient, rather than having to wait on the post or relying on the pupil handing the letter to parents.
• We know that the parent will receive the information avoiding the requirement to remind pupils to have the tear off slip returned.
• It is a much more sustainable and environmentally friendly method.

Should we feel this is beneficial we will roll this out across all departments in the near future.

The trial will start on Monday the 30th of October.

School Photographs are scheduled for Friday the 1^st of September this year.  As in previous years, S1, S5 & S6 pupils will have the opportunity to be photographed as individuals and class groups, in addition all S6 pupils will be involved in a full year group photograph.

There will also be an opportunity for parents of new S1 pupils to request a family group photograph. If you would like your child/children to have a family group photograph, please indicate on the tear-off slip that was issued to the pupils (link below) and ask your child to hand this in to the school office by Wednesday the 30^th of August .

The company providing the service this year is ColorFoto, and as soon as photographs are ready, pupils will be issued with the proof and pricelist for package options.  There is no obligation to buy but we do require all S1 pupils to have their photo taken for school records.

Pupils will be informed of arrangements nearer the date.  Pupils will be expected to be in full school uniform for photographs and we would appreciate your continued support in this matter.
