Dear Parents/Carers

I have been made aware that a person has been seen in the local area in the last few days which has given members of the community cause for concern.  Police Scotland advise that you should call 101 quoting reference number 1620 (incident reference date 10.12.2021) if this person is seen.

On Wednesday 15th December it is Christmas Jumper Day at Woodpark! You may make a small donation to Save the Children if you wish. Please note you do not need to buy a new jumper – you could borrow from a family member or try making your own using some Christmas decorations etc.

A reminder to all Primary 7 parents that there is an online transition meeting tonight (8/12) with the high school.

You will find the meeting link on your child’s Google Classroom stream page.

Parents/Carers,

Do you have a child aged 5-16, or are you a young person aged 12-21? If so, please complete our short travel survey for a chance to win up to £250 in Love2Shop vouchers.

The Scottish Government will soon be launching the Free Bus Travel Scheme for young people between the ages of 5 and 21. This aims to encourage greener travel patterns, and increase opportunities for young people to engage in employment, education and social activities and not be excluded due to travel costs. Transport Scotland will monitor the scheme as it progresses to check on use and impact. The first step is to try and understand current travel patterns so that any changes after the scheme is introduced can be identified.

We would be grateful if parents/carers of younger children (i.e. those aged 5-16), or young people aged 12-21 themselves, could complete this short travel survey. The questionnaire asks about current travel behaviour, and your thoughts about bus travel generally and the free bus travel. This should take no more than 10 minutes to do.

If you have any questions about the work or problems completing the questionnaire, please contact our Project Manager, Elaine Wilson-Smith, at elaine@wellsideresearch.co.uk or on 0131 677 5522.

Link for survey: online1.snapsurveys.com/under22travelsurvey

The closing date for all responses is Monday, 24 January 2022.

Thank you,

South Lanarkshire Council.

Dear Parents/Carers,

I wish to let you know that this week there has a been a reported case of Covid in persons linked to the school.  You do not need to do anything unless you or a member of your family are contacted by Test and Protect as a close contact.  You are asked to note the guidance on self-isolation in the letter from NHSL Public Health.

Mrs D MacKenna, Head Teacher

Dear Parents/Carers,

Please ensure that you do not double park in our car park at drop off/collection times.  If there is no parking space available you will need to leave the car park and park elsewhere.

We strongly encourage children to walk, cycle, scoot to school, or ‘park and stride’ – park further away and walk the remaining distance to school.

It may be necessary to close the car park to all but staff, blue badge holders and school transport (eg taxis) should the parking issues in the car park continue, to ensure safety and to ensure that staff are able to park within the car park when arriving at work.

Thank you.

Mrs D MacKenna, Head Teacher
