Pay a Pound to Dress Down – Friday 19 March 2021
2021 is the “Year of Saint Joseph” and to celebrate the feast day of our patron saint, we will join in Holy Mass at 10am. Children will also be able to “pay a pound to dress down”, with all monies raised going towards our Lenten Charity, Maggie’s.
Maggie’s is a charity providing free practical and emotional support and information for people living with cancer, and their family and friends.
Thank you in advance for your support.
P3/4 Homework
Please note that, going forward, P3/4’s weekly homework will be available on TEAMS and will be uploaded on the Monday of each week. There is no requirement to return the homework to class.
Best Wishes,

Returning to School 15th March 2021
Good afternoon,
The time is fast approaching when we will have all our children back in school.
Staff are well prepared and eager to see them return safely.
It has been a long time since all the children have been together and it will take time for them to adjust to the routines and systems that are in place, in order to keep everyone safe.
With this in mind, we ask that parents/carers adhere to the requirements when you are in or around the school building, especially at pick up and drop off times.
- Maintain a 2M distance from others
- wear a face covering, unless medically exempt.
Concerns have been raised about the congestion on the path opposite the school at the end of the day, where parents/carers wait to collect their child/children. To ease this, we ask that only one person, where possible, drops off/collects their child/children. As much as we all like to meet socially and have a chat, please, after you have dropped off your child/children, move away from the surrounding area. This will allow the natural flow of pedestrians away from the area and reduce crowds and congestion.
Also, a reminder that there are no parking facilities within the school grounds. Parking in the lower car park is for staff and blue badge holders only.
We appreciate your understanding, patience and co-operation during this difficult time.
Thank you,
St Joseph’s Staff Team
Have a lovely weekend😀
