Mrs N’s Notes, 20.5.22
Week 2 of our new menu coming up! Please take time to read the options each day with your child. We are finding some children don’t know what to pick as their usual choices have gone.
NEXT THURSDAY IS ANOTHER THEME DAY IN DINNERS! This time we are having a Platinum Jubilee Day! Look out for menu details coming home early next week.
PARENTS’ NIGHT
Thank you to everyone who joined us last night for our first in-person Parents’ Night in over 2 years. It was lovely to see so many families joining us. Many thanks to everyone who took part in our online survey. If you missed it, here is the link to share your opinions: Parental Survey, May 2022 The questionnaire will remain open over the weekend.
HEALTH WEEK
Remember we are ready for our annual Health Week, starting on Monday! Don’t forget our Family 1K on Monday and Sports Days on Tuesday and Thursday. REMEMBER, pupils should come to school wearing their sporting gear each day next week as they will be involved in a range of active pursuits daily.
I also look forward to seeing some of you taking part in our pupil/adult sporting events after school next week! I think I’ll need to get some training in this weekend!!
If you want to be included in our competition, please make sure all sponsor forms and money are in by Monday morning. We will welcome any more sponsor money after that date, but you won’t be eligible for the competition unless you have it in by Monday morning – for obvious reasons! Good luck!
HEALTH & WELLBEING
Please continue to be vigilant for any symptoms of COVID-19 or any other common childhood ailments. Please follow any medical advice to help keep us all safe. If you need advice regarding recommended isolation periods for common conditions, our office staff can help. We would also recommend checking your child’s hair for head lice frequently as we know these can spread quickly when children play closely together.
TRANSITION
Our P.7 pupils will be visiting Coatbridge High School next week, on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please remember – you should wear your Kirkshaws uniform on those days!
Don’t forget there will be another opportunity for parents and carers to visit the high school on Wednesday evening.
FUNDRAISING
Our Parent Council have been very busy over the past few weeks, kickstarting their fundraising activities. Thanks to you and your support, they had raised £482.74 from the raffle and cafe last night. This will help them get set up for their usual events next session – and maybe some new ventures too! THANK YOU. Congratulations to all our raffle prize winners. Due to your amazing generosity we had 6 hamper winners and 3 small-bag winners drawn at Assembly today. All winning families have been informed – as our pupils may need a lift home with such HUGE hampers!
PARENT COUNCIL AGM
Your Parent Council will meet again on Monday 23rd May at 7pm. This will be a virtual meeting using WebEx. If you wish to attend please speak to a member of our Parent Council or call the school office.
