We had our end of month assembly this morning and it was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate everything that has happened this month. This has included a visit to the panto, Christmas Fair, Christmas Lunch, Christmas parties, Christmas Nativity and shows, Carol singing visits and the great support for the 12 Days of Giving. It really has been an action packed month that also served to share the true meaning of Christmas among all our frantic preparations.

Halloween Disco
Our annual Halloween disco will take place this Thursday ( 24th October) in the school hall.
Pr. 1 – 3 – 6.00 – 7.15pm. Drop off is the main entrance and pick up is at the infant gates. Classes will be called one at a time to ease congestion at pick up time.
Pr. 4 – 7 – 7.30- 8.45pm. Drop off and pick up is the main entrance. A staggered pick up and one way system will be in operation to ease congestion at the end of the night.
Please note that in the interest of everyone’s safety, please, please do not park on the zig zags around the school or at the roundabout at either drop off or pick up times. Families and children will be arriving and leaving in the dark and we kindly ask that no one arrives or exits the school having to negotiate between parked cars outside the school. It is extremely busy at these times so we kindly ask for your support in this regard.
Please park in the Time Capsule and walk with your child to the school.
All children are expected to be picked up from the disco and will not be permitted to leave without an adult.
Tickets are available on the PTA website or can be paid on the night.

Please read letter for details about our forthcoming Open Afternoon.
Attendance Matters
North Lanarkshire have issued a new information leaflet for parents to highlight the importance of sustaining a good and regular attendance at school. Please check school bags for a copy of the leaflet.
Did you know…?
There are 190 days in each school year.
That means there are 175 non school days for holidays, haircuts and appointments
90% attendance may sound good but = 19 days missed each year
2 school days missed each month during your school life adds up to 1 whole year of school lost
15 mins late every day = 2 weeks of lost learning each year
