Good afternoon.
As we approach the 5th of November, Guy Fawkes night, can we ask that you take some time to share the following information with your child/children?
The Scottish SPCA is running a campaign where they are encouraging everyone in Scotland to consider firework safety to help keep children and young people safe around fireworks and bonfires. It is suspected that due to the current Covid-19 restrictions, there could be an increase in ‘back garden’ displays which increases the risk of injury and disturbance.

Please also be mindful, hand sanitiser is alcohol-based and highly flammable which is particularly risky if holding sparklers.

Good afternoon.
Now that we have all completed our first week back at school, it is great to be able to say it has been a huge success. The children have settled well in their new classes and routines. The school is buzzing with a hive of activity, in class and in the playground. We are all very excited about the great things we are going to achieve in the new school year.
We thank you for your perseverance and patience at this time.
Have a fantastic weekend.
St. Joseph’s, school staff.
Good evening.
Dear parents/carers.
We would like to thank you for your cooperation, as we implement the staggered end to the school day for the children of our infant department. We appreciate it takes more time than usual. However, it is an essential requirement to ensure the safety of all. As such, we would like to remind parents/carers of the arrangements for dismissal.
The children will be dismissed in the following order;
P2- Mr Benyon, followed by P1- Miss McCullagh and finally, P2/1- Mrs Warner. Please stand back from the allocated dismissal zone until it is your child’s turn to be collected. Staff will inform you when it is your turn to move forward and collect your child.
There will be a clearly marked waiting area, located on the grass, at the Zebra crossing, in front of the large gates, leading to the top staff car park. We ask that you adhere to physical distancing requirements around the school building.
Signage will be in place to remind parents of the arrangements and staff will be available to assist.
Thank you for your continued support at this time.
School Staff
Please see the final arrangements for our Nursery Return.
