You will find information regarding Graduation below.  Please also note the information regarding the last day of term and specifically the 1pm dismissal:

• Children should still wear school uniform on the last day, as we will be attending Mass in the Church at 10am.  All welcome.
• Children will be permitted to change into alternative clothes before 1pm if they wish.  They should bring these with them.
• School finishes at 1pm.  We will dismiss the P7 children a couple of minutes after 1pm to allow some of the traffic to disperse.
• Staff will form a Guard of Honour as the children process with their Teachers out of the double gate in the playground.  The Piper will lead the procession.
• Please ensure that any hired vehicles do not enter the school car park.  Ask them to arrive AFTER 1pm as the roads will be very congested and there will be limited space.  I’m grateful for your co-operation with this and I’ve already discussed this with a parent who is in contact with the party bus company.

Please click HERE to RSVP and book your tickets by FRIDAY 23RD JUNE at 9am.

Unclaimed tickets will be offered to other families.

You may have noticed that there are new single yellow lines on both sides of Laburnum Road directly outside the school grounds.  The line on our side of the road continues through the vehicle gate of the school and round the corner into the area where the zebra crossing is.

These yellow lines are supported by the No Stopping signs (see below).  You can see that this means that:

Stopping on those yellow lines is illegal between the hours of 8am and 4pm. 

Please adhere to these new restrictions which are now enforceable.  Similar restrictions are being put in place at schools throughout North Lanarkshire.

THIS WEEK WE HAD SOMEONE DRIVE THE WRONG WAY ROUND THE ONE WAY SYSTEM… STRAIGHT THROUGH THE NO ENTRY SIGN!

This happened at the end of the school day, when the area was very busy and when our children are being dismissed.

TODAY A PARENT DROVE A LARGE VEHICLE INTO THE CAR PARK WHILST ON THEIR MOBILE PHONE. This was before school as children were arriving.  Apart from being illegal, it is extremely dangerous.

WE APPEAL TO ALL DRIVERS:

Think about your actions.  Think about your speed.  Think about WHERE you park.  Think… am I breaking the law?
