Important Parents Evening Information
Parents Evening will take place on Wednesday 23rd and Thursday 24th March.
This year we will be using an online video system called ‘School Cloud’. More information on how to use School Cloud and how to book your appointments will be with you very soon, but first we must confirm your email address.
In your child’s diary today is a sticker with the email address we have on file for you.
If this is correct, please tick the box on the sticker.
If it is not correct, please clearly write the correct email address in the space on the sticker.
Once we have confirmed all email addresses, the school will send out a School Cloud explanation which will then allow you to book your appointments very easily and have a video conversation with teachers on the evening.
Literacy and RSHP
Primary 1 Literacy and RSHP information session will be held on Wednesday 2nd February at 4pm.
Stickers have been put in your child’s diary with information on accessing the link to the Google Meet. If you are having trouble accessing the Google Classroom page please let Mrs Finlay know.
Reporting absences
As of today the school will operate an answer messaging service for reporting absences. When you phone the school you will be offered two options –
1. Report an absence
2. Speak to the office
If you are reporting an absence, please clearly state your child’s name, class and the reason for absence.
Thank you!

Online Safety
As we head into the long weekend, we would urge all parents and carers to remain aware of online activity among your children. Online learning has massively increased the use of cameras – in particular your child’s ability to use them. With this inevitably comes risks and dangers from people taking advantage of the situation.
There is a TikTok viral going around today encouraging children to visit the website omegle.com
This is a website where anyone is randomly matched to someone else and they are instantly connected via webcam. This of course is dangerous and could easily expose your children to the worst of the internet, so please remain vigilant.
We would strongly encourage everyone to use the long weekend to –
- Speak to the children about remaining safe online
- Review your parental settings on your wifi/devices
- Check in with your child’s device in terms of apps and people they have ‘added’ on these apps.
In school we always state if they do not physically know the person, they should not be their contact in an app and should not be able to contact them.
