Paper copies will not be distributed this month.  If you wish a paper copy please call into the office where they will be available on request.

As an Eco School we are keen to maintain our Eco status and as such we intend going paperless to minimise the effect of excess rubbish on our environment. We have put various means of communication into place to help us achieve this whilst keeping you fully informed of what is going on in the school.  We regularly update our website www.whitelees.n-lanark.sch.uk. We now have a Twitter account WhiteleesPS where you can keep up to date with all that’s happening in the school.  We also now have an email alert system in place which we would use to send out correspondence directly to your email address.  You can sign up to our email alert system, just ask your child’s Teacher about this at your Parent/Teacher meeting.

Book reading

As you will know the Scholastic Book Fair is in school this week!

Children have had the chance to have a look at the books and see if there is anything they might like to buy yesterday and today.

They will then be able to purchase their books tomorrow and Thursday.  Primary 1a, 1b, 2, 2/3, 3 and 4 will be able to buy books tomorrow (Wednesday) and P4/5, 5, 5/6, 6, 7a and 7b will be able to buy their books on Thursday.  Please send your children in with money on the day if they wish to buy a book.

The Book Fayre will be available on the night of the Parent/Teacher Meetings when you can purchase books for your children if you wish.
