Mrs N’s Notes, 19.5.23
Week 3 Menu coming up
If your child pays for school lunches, please remember to add money to their lunch card BEFORE they come to school. Thank you.
PARENTS’ NIGHT
Many thanks to all who attended our Parents’ Night last night. It was lovely to catch up with so many families. If you could not manage and would like to discuss your child’s progress at this time, please contact the school office to arrange a telephone appointment with your child’s teacher.
ATTENDANCE
This week I have had the chance to discuss attendance with many families. As you know, the expectation across Scotland is that attendance should not fall lower than 90% in a school year. As a school, our overall attendance is sitting at 88%. We have 40% of all pupils still not reaching the 90% threshold. If you need help encouraging your child to attend, please continue to speak to us and we will devise a plan that works for you. As I said to many parents this week, every day really does count. Please remember that there are lots of learning opportunities still to come in Term 4 and we do want your child here right up until the very last day. #partnership
UNIFORM BANK
We have a HUGE AMOUNT of lost property still left, even after our Parents’ Night Amnesty! Over the coming weeks we intend to sort it out and offer a free Uniform Bank to all families. Please contact me if this is something that would benefit your family now or as we look ahead to the next school year. No questions asked – just come and take what you need.
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS
While we continue to consider the academic improvements we can make each year, we also have a willing group of parents who are keen to address the look of the school environment at this time. A huge THANK YOU to all the family members who have been working flat-out this week! If you have a few hours to spare and would like to help with gardening or painting outdoors, please let me know. The more, the merrier!
P.1 INDUCTION DAY
We look forward to welcoming all new families at our next Induction Event on Tuesday morning. After a time of play for the children, adults will be invited to join them for lunch together.
