PARENT COUNCIL UPDATE
Our Parent Council will be holding their AGM on Monday 21st September. Due to the current restrictions around face-to-face meetings, this will be held online, using WebEx video conferencing. If you are interested in joining our PTA in any capacity, please contact me directly by email on gw09nicolsonalison2@glow.sch.uk this week and your details will be passed on to Cheryl Grant, Parent Council Chairperson.
ROAD SAFETY
Thank you to everyone who is supporting us in keeping our children safe as they travel to and from school. However, I must remind some drivers that our staff carpark must not be used as a drop off zone or a turning spot. As always, the Zigzag lines at the front of the school must be kept clear at all times. Please allow yourself a little extra time to park a short distance away and walk the last part of your journey.
SCHOOL RESOURCES
We are aware that some school resources were not returned to school before we closed last session. This was nobody’s fault, we just ran out of time! Please check to see if you have any school items lying around at home. If you do, we would appreciate you returning them with your child this week. This includes reading books (all stages), Story Sacks or Book Bags (P.2 & 3) and nursery graduation robes & hats (current Primary 1 pupils)… and anything else you think could belong in school! Thank you for your help with this.
HOMEWORK
As a school, we made a conscious decision to ease children back to school gradually, with a major focus on wellbeing. We know you worked hard to continue home-learning throughout Lockdown and for that reason we wanted to give homework a break during the first few weeks back. However, we are going to reintroduce this next week. All classes will be issued with a 3-week homework plan on Monday 21st September, that will take us up to the October Week holiday. More details will be provided by your child’s class teacher.
