Comments Off on P1 Start Time – Effective 31st August 2020
Dear Parent/Carer,
Please see the changes to start arrangements from next Monday 31st August 2020.
Primary 1 families can now use the drop and go facility from 8:45am, however, this will only work if parents/carers drop their children and then leave the area immediately to avoid impeding the safe drop off of other children. The pavements are too narrow to wait.
There are staff in the playground to supervise the children until 9am, however, if you feel in your judgement as a parent/carer that your child will require you to be there or that they will be too distressed going into school then you should wait until 9am when the bell rings and then meet the class teacher to bring your child in. Parents/Carers are advised to wear a face-covering.
Children should not be dropped off any earlier than 8:45am as there are no staff in the playground to supervise.
You can use any gate to enter the playground and then children should make their way to their zone. Room 1 zone is zone 1 near to the girl’s toilets and Room 2 is zone 2 near to the boy’s toilet.
There are no changes to pick up arrangements, P1 children will continue to be dismissed at 2:50pm from their zone.

Comments Off on Physical Education
Dear Parent/Carer,
Thank you for your patience in awaiting further information about Physical Education. As you can imagine, it is challenging organising 2 PE sessions for each of our 16 classes when Government guidance only allows for outdoor PE at the moment, however please see attached the days that have been allocated to each class effective from Monday 31st August 2020. These days may be subject to change and this would be communicated to you by the class teacher via the Mossend App.
Please note, that PE will be outdoors in all weathers, therefore we ask that children come to school wearing something suitable for this. Government guidance states that we must provide children with 2 hours of PE per week and being outdoors is the norm for most schools across Scotland; so during this period children should come to school in their PE kit to limit clothing and belongings being transported from home to school and back.
Advised PE Kit
• Joggers (ideally waterproof)
• Outdoor trainers
• T-shirt or polo shirt (no football teams or colours)
• Change of shoes for indoors (optional)
• Change of socks (in the event socks get wet whilst outside)
• Waterproof jacket, with hood.
• Water bottle filled at home (water fountains are in use for refills).
Children will stay in their kit for the duration of the school day and will be supported to take part in PE even if they do not have their kit, so don’t worry about this. Remember, jewellery should be left at home on PE days for health and safety and any medication pupils may require (such as inhalers) should already be registered in our main office and the appropriate paperwork completed.
Many thanks,
Team Mossend
