Dyslexia Scotland West Lothian Branch Open Meeting and AGM

The next Open Meeting of the Dyslexia Scotland West Lothian Branch will take place on Wednesday, 11th September 2013 in Pod 2 on the first floor of the Street Building, West Lothian College at 7pm.

The meeting will start with the AGM, which will give you a brief insight into the activities of the Branch for the last 12 months.

This will be followed by a talk by Shirley Illman, Principal Teacher, Dyslexia Support, West Lothian Literacy Services.  Shirley will talk about the excellent work she and her team at Literacy Services carry out in supporting teachers and dyslexic pupils throughout West Lothian.

After the talk, tea and coffee (and biscuits) will be available and there will be a chance to chat and have a look at the information table.

This would be a particularly good meeting for parents and carers of dyslexic pupils.

Should you wish any more information regarding this, please do not hesitate to email dswestlothian@gmail.com or by call Irene on 07944 353753.

Parentzone – Tell Education Scotland what you think about the Parentzone website

Parentzone is a website dedicated to providing parents or carers, with the most up-to-date information about their child’s education.  It provides practical advice and suggestions of ways that parents can be involved in their child’s learning, as well as essential information on features of Curriculum for Excellence.

If you are a parent of a child aged 3–18, Education Scotland would be grateful if you would complete a short survey to help ensure that Parentzone reflects the needs of all parents and carers.  The survey should take about 5–10 minutes to complete and all responses are confidential.

The survey will close on 31 August.
