ATTENDANCE MATTERS!<\/strong><\/p>\n

During these weeks, when there are a number of shorter weeks due to holiday weekends, I encourage you to ensure that your child or children attend school every day possible.\u00a0 Sometimes, the temptation can be to keep them off because it is a short week.\u00a0 \u00a0This week is a prime example of that!\u00a0 Monday holiday and Thursday INSET may be a reason for your child not to attend on Friday.\u00a0 As you know, however, we are trying to INCREASE our overall attendance and every day, indeed every MINUTE counts at school!<\/p>\n

Remember that our 20th Birthday Bash takes place on Friday, with the fun starting at 9am!<\/p>\n

20TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS – Wednesday 5th May<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have been advertising a Save the Date for our Mass with Bishop Toal, which takes place tomorrow at 1:45pm in school.\u00a0 You are warmly invited to come along and join us.\u00a0 Please click HERE<\/a> to let us know you intend to join us, so that we can have enough chairs available!\u00a0 Can I ask that all children wear their full school uniform tomorrow?<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Even if it is their PE day.\u00a0 It is fitting that, for our special occasion, we look our best and show our school in it’s best light!\u00a0 We are looking forward to welcoming a host of guests from North Lanarkshire Council, our local schools, former pupils, partner agencies and charities and, of course our former staff.\u00a0 As mentioned, you are more than welcome to join us.\u00a0 Please complete the link to let us know you are coming along, so that we have enough chairs!<\/p>\n

Please note:\u00a0 Our office staff will be attending the Mass and so the office will be closed from 1:45pm.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

There may be a slight delay in dismissal at the end of the day, so please bare with us.<\/p>\n

PARKING & POTENTIAL ISSUES AT 3PM DISMISSAL<\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to the high volume of people attending tomorrow’s Mass, I have asked that the staff park in the church car park.\u00a0 Many guests for tomorrow’s Mass will be driving.\u00a0 Perhaps you could also consider parking in the church and walking round to collect your child?\u00a0 It is a very short distance and it would be very helpful!\u00a0 Please support us if you can.<\/p>\n
