Mrs N’s Notes ~ 6.9.20
Looking ahead to next week it is the menu for Week 2. Please take time to read the menu with your child and select the option they would like. Thank you to all those parents making use of the online payment system. At this time we are not handling cash in school.
PARENT COUNCIL
Our Parent Council continues to function, despite the current restrictions we face. Although face-to-face meetings are still impossible, our next meeting is scheduled for Monday 21 September using video conferencing.
TRAFFIC ISSUES
Can I continue to encourage parents to park a short distance from the school gates and walk the final part of your journey. Traffic congestion continues to be an issue, particularly at the end of the day. Please also remember to drive slowly when passing a school; the safety of your children is our priority.
WET WEATHER
Looking ahead to next week, it looks like we have more rainy days in store. Pupils can access the school playground from 8.45am, but they cannot enter the building until their designated start time; 8.50, 9.00 or 9.10am. All children are reminded to come to school wearing a waterproof jacket and suitable shoes.
WATER BOTTLES
Pupils should bring a filled water bottle with them each morning. This can be drunk throughout the day in class. Parents are reminded that this should be plain water – not flavoured water or diluting juice. Juice can be drunk at intervals and lunchtime. No fizzy juice should be brought to school; this should be a treat kept for home.
AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS
We are still not in a position to offer after school or lunchtime clubs at this time. In line with all primary schools in North Lanarkshire, this will continue to be reviewed as we work through the school year.
KEEPING YOU POSTED
Keep an eye on our school web site and Twitter over the coming weeks. We intend to post some photos showing what different classes are up to through a new ‘Class of the Day’ feature. If you no longer wish your child’s photograph to be used in this way, please contact the school office.
CHILD PROTECTION
Please remember, the Child Protection Coordinator for the school is myself, Mrs Alison Nicolson. If you have any concerns around the wellbeing of a child you can contact me on 01236 632054 to discuss your worries confidentially. In my absence, Mr Sharp (Principal Teacher) will carry out this role.
