INFORMATION EVENING
Parents of P7 pupils are invited to an Open Evening for P7 Pupils and Parents on Thursday 17 Nov at 7pm for a ‘walk round’ of the school where they will ‘follow a timetable’. All prospective parents and pupils for next year’s First Year are invited to attend on that evening.
S1 MONITORING REPORTS
S1 monitoring reports will be issued soon and all parents should ensure they receive their child’s progress report. This will give parents a useful insight into how their child has coped with the first few months of High School, and any areas that may need worked upon. Please return these as soon as possible.
S4 PARENTS MEETING
A Parents Evening for S4 pupils will take place on Wednesday 30 November and the next S4 Report will be issued prior to the evening. Pupils will be given an appointment sheet and will be asked to go around their teachers to arrange suitable appointments. The evening starts at 6:30pm and runs until 9:00pm. We look forward to seeing as many parents there as possible.
