Welcome back to school, we hope you all had a lovely break!
Just a reminder that we will start to use our new alert system Groupcall this week. You can download the free app to your mobile phone/tablet. Just search for “Groupcall Xpressions” in your app store. All we need is your up to date email address and mobile number and you’re ready to go!
No more letters going astray, being left in trays or falling out of school bags!
We are still awaiting numerous tear off slips with regards to our new system Groupcall Xpressions. This system will give us the ability to communicate with you through electronic means dispensing the need for countless pieces of paper being sent home. This will ensure any correspondence goes directly to your mobile phone or tablet and isn’t left in trays or lost in bags! Our intention has always been to move towards paperless communication and this gives us the perfect platform. If you are not subscribed to this system you may miss out on vital correspondence from the school as this is how we will distribute letters/newsletters/information etc in the future. You can find the letter with more information on our website in “correspondence” under the “Parents” tab. If you would like a hard copy of the letter please call into the office who will be happy to provide you with one. You can read more about this system by clicking here. We thank you for your continued support and hope that you would agree this is a huge step forward in our modern electronic world.
Please check school bags tonight for correspondence about PE days for the whole school and outdoor learning for primary 3 and primary 4, term 1. Our start of the year packs were also distributed. Could you please complete, sign and return all forms to the school as soon as possible to ensure we have the most up to date details for all children? Family photographs were also distributed today. Again please return any orders to the school as soon as possible?
Look out for the email alerts pop up box or the “sign up for email alerts” link. Choose to sign up to Whitelees and you’re all set to start receiving alerts once this is in place.
If you have already chosen to sign up via the school enquiries email we have already subscribed you.
We will keep you informed when this goes live!
As always your support is greatly appreciated and we hope that you will help us to maintain our Eco School status.
Don’t forget you can catch up with all that’s going on in Whitelees by signing up to our Twitter account too – WhiteleesPS
