Parent Council AGM
The Parent Council Annual General Meeting will take place on
MONDAY 1st OCTOBER 2017, 6.30PM
We would like to welcome all returning members and any parent or carer who would like to come along to find out what the parent council does and to offer any help, suggestions or ideas. We have a number of available spaces to join our parent council. Our meetings are informal; we have a chat about upcoming events and what’s going on in and around the school. We meet around 7 times per school year and meetings only last an hour. We would love to welcome any parents who are interested in joining, please pop in and see what the parent council is about, we hope to see you there!
Please see the attached leaflet for more details.
Parents’ Evening
North Lanarkshire have organised for a new online booking system for our parents’ evenings. Our next event is on Thursday 12th October 2017 for all classes from Primary 1 to Primary 7.
Go to http://www.parents-booking.co.uk/stmichaelsprimarynorthlan
PLEASE NOTE: You need to type this address into your website browser’s ‘address bar’. Do not try to ‘Google’ this website address or use a search engine as that will not work. This is a common mistake on phones and tablets especially.
Login to see which appointments are available and select one that is convenient for you.
You will need:
- Your title and surname (these must match those we have on record for you)
- Your child’s first name, surname and date of birth
The system is live from 19th September and will be open to take your bookings until 11th October 2017.
Once you have logged in, I suggest you use the ‘make appointment individually’. This will take you to the booking page, simply click on a time slot to reserve your appointment. The orange bar ‘booking instructions’ at the right side of the appointment times will provide more information on the booking process. The blue bar ‘email your bookings’ will send you email confirmation of your booking.
Troubleshooting Tips – please read before booking!
- To login you need to enter the details we have on record for you and your child. If you have recently changed your title or surname, for example, and not informed us, we will be expecting you to login with the details we have on record
- The email address you enter is only used to receive a confirmation of your appointment. If the system gives you an error when you login, it will not be the email address that is the problem
If you require any further assistance, please contact the school office.
