Pupil Resource Packs

Good morning everyone and a Happy New Year!

Online learning will begin on Monday 11th January, as a result, we have prepared pupil resource packs that can be collected from the school today.  The resource packs contain paper, jotters, pencils, login details and other essential requirements for your child to participate fully in online learning.

The packs can be collected from outside the pupil entrance to the school and will be arranged in class groupings.

To stop over congestion in the playground we are allocating a time slot based on the first letter of your surname.  We have also included an open collection time in case your allocated slot is not suitable.

A to H   1pm – 130pm

I to O   130pm – 2pm

P to Z   2pm – 230pm

Open Collection   230pm – 3pm

If you or your child are unable to collect a pack at any of these times then please contact the school to arrange an alternative time to collect  your child’s resource pack.

Please note that any pupil who was required to self isolate during last term has already received their pack.

A text will also be sent to all main contacts confirming collection times.

 

A further letter detailing all arrangements for online learning will be posted online today with a link to the letter sent via text as well.

 

Kind regards

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

2020 has been an extremely challenging year for everyone and I hope you get the opportunity to rest and relax over the festive period.

I am absolutely delighted with the Nativity and Christmas messages that our classes have produced.

Primary 1 acted for the Nativity and Primary 2 narrated, while Primary 3 – Primary 7 took one of our school values each and gave a Christmas message related to their chosen value.

Please be kind and look out for each other over the holidays and I look forward to welcoming you all back on Wednesday 6th January.

 

Thank you and best wishes

*Important* Launch of ParentsPortal for Annual Data Checks

In support of Renfrewshire’s ambition to provide better communications between parents/carers and our schools, we are excited to launch Parentsportal.scot – an exciting new initiative which enables and creates a digital relationship between parents, pupils and schools.

The portal is designed to replace the ‘schoolbag run’, giving parents online access to a range of school-related services.  At the heart of the system, is a secure online account through mygov.scot which is referred to as a ‘My Account’.  This is already used in over half of Renfrewshire schools enabling parents to make payments online.

The first phase of the service will introduce basic information about your school and will allow you to link to your child and update your own, as well as your child’s details as part of the Annual Data Check process, that is now managed electronically.

As the portal develops, we look forward to seeing more services introduced in the coming months.

On signing up to the portal, you will be able to link to your child and gain access to the services which are currently available.  Please note this service is only available to Primary and Secondary children.  In order to link to your child, the data you provide during the sign up process must match the most up-to-date data that your child’s school holds.
