Dear parent/ carer,
Just wow! What a week it has been for our children, champions and community! It has been a complete privilege to share this moment in history and plan our opening events, so that our children will have these memories for years to come.
We are currently working on a Sway so we can start to share some of the experiences from this week with you. Sorry for the delay, as I know you all very keen to seen some photos, we have just been so engrossed in making these memories with your children.
The generosity from our families, local community and local businesses has been truly overwhelming to ensure we have been able to provide such a momentous week for our children. Thank you to everyone involved.
Just a few reminders for tomorrow:
- It is a dress down day, for our Let’s Glow Calderwood Party, children can come to school in their own clothes, we recommend bright clothes.
- Also a reminder of the times for pick up:
- – 11:50am: Mull, Orkney & Shetland
- – 11:55am:Bramble & Bluebell
- – 12:00pm: Ness, Rannoch, Tay, Ben Lawers & Ben Lomond
From Monday, all children can be collected at 3:15pm and 12:00pm on a Friday.
Thank you for your support and patience as we adapt to our new routines.
In the morning the playground is for children only. The reason for this is because all children have access to the playground in the morning. There are champions in the playground to support and supervise the children playing. If children are cycling or scooting to school, they should disembark at the gates.
At pick up, we would appreciate it if you do not enter the playground until the champions open the gates. This is because clans may be learning in the outdoor areas. We would request that younger children disembark their bike or scooter until they are out of the playground area. Unfortunately, we are still unable to use the grass areas. I would appreciate it if you could share this information with whoever collects your child/ ren.
Mrs Blair has been working very hard to get our booking system up and running for you to be able to book appointments for Champion Conversations next Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the majority of families voted for video calls. We will update you tomorrow and are hopeful that we are almost there with setting up this new system for our school. The delay in this has been outwith our control, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
I am very excited to share the celebrations with our children tomorrow, I obviously have my neon stag t-shirt at the ready!
Have a lovely evening,
Miss Burton
