Welcome back to all our returning pupils and a huge welcome to all families who are starting their journey with us.
Each Friday I try to give you an update on our weekly newsletter which is posted here, on the school website. Links are usually sent out by email and posted on Twitter (X) too to ensure no one misses it.
LUNCHES
Next week we will be on the Week 2 menu in both the school and nursery. If your child is in Primary 1, you may wish to send in a wee note if you want to suggest what they are likely to eat at lunchtime. Pupils in the SCHOOL may bring in their own packed lunch, if they prefer. Pupils in P.1-5 will receive a free lunch as part of the universal offer, but P. 6 & 7 pupils must pay for their lunch, unless you have applied for free meals. All money should be added to pupils’ own on-line accounts using the iPayImpact system.
ATTENDANCE
Please ensure your child is at school every day that they are well. Every school day really does count and we want to make sure we are providing your child with the best possible education. If your child is ill, please phone the school office on the first morning of their absence. The school office opens at 8.30am daily.
CALENDAR OF EVENTS
This has been shared with you in various ways over the past few days. Please keep this handy in the coming months. We are aware some dates are most likely to change, but we will update you of any alterations as soon as we can.
MEET THE TEACHER
We look forward to welcoming you to visit your child’s class after school on Wednesday 23rd August. All pupils will be dismissed as usual at 3pm, then as quickly as we can we will open the doors to let all families back in to class. Classes will remain open for around 30 minutes. If you have more than one child simply move between the rooms when you want. Your child will be your guide!
PANTOMIME 2023
Letters have been sent home regarding our proposed Panto visit in December. We are heading to Motherwell to see Jack and the Beanstalk. I know it seems very early to be talking about this, but tickets will need to be paid in full by 15th September. If you missed the letter, you can download another copy here: Panto 2023
PARENT COUNCIL
Our next Parent Council meeting will be held on Monday 4th September. This is a virtual meeting, held on WebEx at 7pm. If you would like to join the meeting, please notify the school office or a member of the Parent Council and you will be sent a link nearer the time.
PHOTOGRAPHS
Our school photographer will be in school on 4th and 5th September. Look out for a letter explaining how this will be organised next week.
NURSERY FUND
A letter went home this week reminding all families of the nursery fund and how you can contribute to this. In order to ensure we provide a range of snacks, as well as other wee extras, we would appreciate your support in this.
I hope you have a relaxing weekend and I look forward to working with you over the coming weeks and months.
