As part of our Eco School Action Plan the Global Citizenship group are raising money to support the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.

Members of the group will be visiting classes to give pupils and teachers the chance to “Guess the Teddy’s Birthday”.  This will run from Tues 3rd  – Fri 6th December.  Whoever guesses the correct date will win the teddy.  The cost will be 50p a go and you can have more than one shot if you want!

If you would like to take part please bring the money into school (not ParentPay).

Parking

Good morning. We have received information on a few occasions this week regarding issues with traffic flow through the village.

The main problems are arising from cars parked too close to the junction of Old Greenock Road and Ferry Road. This makes it very difficult for larger vehicles and the school buses in particular to turn.

On two mornings this week the bus has become ‘stuck’ when trying to turn and the traffic on the surrounding roads has become gridlocked. The situation was only resolved when the parked car was moved.

We fully appreciate that parking is difficult during peak periods but please be mindful of others and only park in places that are unlikely to cause problems for other road users.

A  number of parents have signed up to the Parking Pledge and we are grateful of your support in this.

 

Parent Pay Update

A reminder that the school will be cashless from tomorrow, Thursday 10th October.

If your child uses the milk bar at interval, you must have money in their meals account, this includes P1-3 and other Free Meals. Your child will not be allowed to get into debt on their account for a snack from the milk bar at interval.

Any questions or queries can be answered by the Parent Pay team who will be in school from 8.30am tomorrow. Thank you.
