HEALTH & SAFETY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nPlease remember that it is North Lanarkshire and school policy\u00a0 that jewellery worn in school should be kept to a minimum.\u00a0 This is especially true for earrings.\u00a0 Dangling or hooped earrings should not be worn in school to avoid unnecessary injury.\u00a0 A stud, worn in the lobe of the ear is fine under normal circumstances, but should be covered or removed for PE.<\/p>\n
When we returned to the school building, after the first Lockdown, we asked pupils to leave personal toys at home.\u00a0 This request has never changed.\u00a0 We are seeing a few toys starting to sneak back into school bags again.\u00a0 Please remind your child that this rule remains in place for everyone.\u00a0 We are happy for children to bring their own pencil cases and essential items, but nothing else at this time.<\/p>\n
If anyone in your household is suffering from COVID-19 symptoms, please follow national advice and isolate or arrange testing as required.\u00a0 Please call the school office if you need advice regarding who in your household should be isolating and for how long.<\/p>\n
HEALTHY EATING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nWe would continue to ask that pupils bring water to school to drink in class time.\u00a0 In most situations, this can be kept on your child’s desk. Diluting juice can be enjoyed at break times.\u00a0 Fizzy juice should be kept as a treat for home.\u00a0 As a Health Promoting School we will continue to reinforce this message in school and ask for your cooperation in this.<\/p>\n
PARKING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nAs always, I would like to thank everyone who continues to park legally and safely in our local community.\u00a0 This week we had a special plea from the residents of St James’ Way.\u00a0 They have found that some people are parking on the pavement, which is making access for some residents impossible.\u00a0 Please keep in mind those with limited mobility who need the full width of a pavement to access their homes.\u00a0 Thank you.<\/p>\n
INTER-HOUSE ACTIVITIES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nOur House Captains are hard at work, with Mr Sharp, organising our next inter-house competition.\u00a0 This time it is a Maths Quiz, that we will hold over Microsoft Teams, to ensure we can all enjoy it together.<\/p>\n
Since returning to school after Christmas we have not been allowed to meet together for an in-person assembly, but we are skilled at meeting on Teams now, so assemblies have not stopped (just changed a wee bit).\u00a0 We still welcome entries in the Gold Book that we can celebrate together each Friday.<\/p>\n
HOLIDAY REMINDER<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nRemember school and nursery are closed<\/strong><\/span> on Monday 14th<\/strong><\/span> and Tuesday 15th February<\/strong><\/span> for the mid-term holiday and again on Wednesday 16th February<\/strong><\/span> for an in-service training day for staff.\u00a0 Pop it in your diary!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
I hope you have a relaxing weekend and I look forward to welcoming everyone back to Breakfast Club, Nursery and School on Monday morning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
