Our children in Primary 3, Primary 4, Primary 6 and Primary 7 are preparing for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, the Eucharist and Confirmation.
Please click on the relevant link below to find out details about the retreats to prepare for these Sacraments.
Winter Weather Arrangements
We were hoping to get through the winter unscathed however the forecast for the next couple of days is for frequent and heavy hail and snow showers.
In such conditions the janitor is required to clear a path to the main entrance from the main gate, following this the priority is to clear a pathway from the main entrance round through the junior and infant playgrounds to the Nursery entrance. Once this has been achieved the janitor will then attempt to clear other exits/entrances to the building. However despite best attempts sometimes the salt/grit is rendered useless if there is also heavy rain or extremely low temperatures.
In the event that conditions in the yard are unsuitable then myself or the Depute Head Teacher will take the decision to dismiss the children via the front door. At all times the safety of the children is paramount and all staff will be in attendance to dismiss the children one class at a time. In these circumstances we ask that all parents and carers stand back from the door so that the children may locate the appropriate adult.
I would appreciate your patience and understanding should this be the case and ask that you continue to follow twitter and text messages for updates.
Thank you for your co-operation
Mrs Greechan

Head Teacher
Please find attached on the details of School Enrolment dates and times at St. Michael’s. Please share with anyone you may know who has a child starting school in August.
Our Upper School Choir are doing their rounds both in Moodiesburn and further afield. This week they have been signing in the Coffee House and they took part in the Makmerry Concert at St Maurice’s.
Here is a wee catch up on all that has been going on in St Michael’s!
Primary 1 had a wonderful time last week at Moodiesburn Church Centre to learn about the Nativity story.
On the morning of Thursday 7th December, our Primary 1 pupils have been invited to take part in an annual festive event being held within Moodiesburn Church and organised by Chryston Parish Church.
Children will listen to Christmas stories, sing Christmas songs and take part in festive craft activities.
Consent to take part in this event is covered by the local visits form signed earlier this year.
I am sure the children will enjoy this lovely festive experience.
On Friday 15th December we will hold a special Advent Appeal Day. On this day the pupils are invited to wear something Christmassy!! Such as the colours red or green, tinsel in their hair or a Christmas jumper, if they have one, but please don’t buy anything new.
We would ask that on this day all the pupils donate one of the items mentioned below for those less fortunate.
We will then donate these items to local charities. We ask that you only donate what is affordable at this time of year.
Following Pret-a-Portrait’s recent visit to the school, Student pictures are now available. A viewing card explaining how you can view and order pictures will be sent home with pupils today.
Please ask your child to give it to you as soon as possible so you have a chance to order any pictures you would like at a discounted price before the Early Bird Deadline 12th December 2017.
Christmas Order Deadline:
Sunday 10th December for Framed Prints & Phone Cases
Sunday 17th December for Unframed Prints, JPEGs on USB
Thursday 21st December for JPEGs to download
If for any reason your viewing card doesn’t make it to you in the next few days, please contact Pret-a-Portrait directly on 0800 021 7626 or customerservice@pret-a-portrait.net
