We are always looking for parents out there who would like to come in and help!
For those of you who have not volunteered before but would be interested in doing so, here is a brief summary of the type of jobs you could be asked to do:
There is also a separate list of parents who are happy to help with school outings or events and can be contacted on a ‘one-off’ basis.
If you think you could offer any time to help in school, please contact the school office for a form.
Please note: it is essential that you are disclosed if you wish to be a parent helper. Please call into school and fill in one of the new Disclosure Scotland PVG forms if you do not have a current disclosure. These are available from Mrs Roy in the office.
Parent helpers are an enormous help in the school and your talents and time are much appreciated.
Attached is a timetable for after school clubs this session.
There may be a few additions to this timetable as the weeks go on. Information on each club will be handed out to the selected stage nearer the time of the club starting up.
