Week 1 menus when we return after the holidays.  An email was sent out yesterday informing everyone that the price of a school meal will be going up in April.  A lunch will now cost £3.25.  If your child pays for their lunch, this money should be added to their online payment account BEFORE they eat.  Across the council, every attempt is being made to ensure families do not run up a bill in the dinner hall.

EARLY CLOSURE TODAY

Please remember that school closes at 2.30pm this afternoon for our Easter holiday.  School and nursery will remain closed until Monday 15th April, when we all come back at the usual times.

PRIMARY 1 INDUCTION VISITS

We look forward to welcoming our new Primary 1 pupils to visit us a few times over the coming term.

If your child attends Kirkshaws nursery, regular visits to the school with our nursery staff  have already started and will continue throughout the summer term.  If your child attends another nursery, Mrs McGarry will be visiting your child in their current setting in April.  She will also be in touch after Easter to invite you to attend a small group story-time session early in May, to allow your child a soft-start option.

We would also like to invite all families to attend our two main Induction Events.

• 20 May, 2.00pm – 2.45pm (classroom visit and parent information session)
• 3 June, 10.00 am – 11.30am (classroom and playground play, followed by a school lunch in our dinner hall at 11am)

Letters with this information and all necessary arrangements have been sent out today.  If you have applied to attend Kirkshaws as a Placing Request, you will also be invited to these events as soon as your place here has been confirmed.

LEAVERS HOODIES

At the other end of the school, our oldest learners are preparing for their own big move.  A huge thanks must go to our Parent Council for organising this year’s leavers hoodies for our P.7 pupils.  This week we were delighted to take delivery of them and, as you can see, we LOVE THEM!
