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
Parking around the school
SAFE PARKING
Please remember to Park and Stride. Parking is available in the car park of St.Augustine’s Church and the Time Capsule. Please DO NOT park on the zig zag lines. It is inconsiderate and endangers lives. WE HAVE AMPLE PARKING AROUND OUR SCHOOL SO PLEASE USE IT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL.
Please note Traffic Regulation Orders will be enforced meaning that markings will no longer be advisory and drivers can be fined. This will mean the council can carry out enforcement duties in a similar way to enforcement of double yellow lines. Police will continue to make unannounced visits at drop off and pick times.
