Due to forecast worsening weather, schools will close to pupils from 1.00 pm today. We are working with contractors to bring forward scheduled school transport but some transport may arrive after 1.00 pm. Staff will remain with pupils until collected.
We seem to be experiencing problems with the school phones. If you need to contact the school urgently please email ht@st-michaels.n-lanark.sch.uk
We are delighted to offer a number of After School Clubs run by some of the teaching staff and local instructors. These will take place Monday-Thursday, between 3pm – 4pm.
These will start from week beginning 22nd January until week beginning 19th March. If you wish to be considered for any of these clubs, please reply to the email, selecting the club of your choice by clicking on the relevant link.
Please note that club numbers have to be restricted and places will be allocated on a first come first served basis, you will receive notification if your child has a place. There is a cost of 50p per week for the clubs attended.

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

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.
Here is a wee catch up on all that has been going on in St Michael’s!
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.
