Calderwood Communication:

• Parking: We would request if you are choosing to use the car park, please use it safely and be mindful of the no parkingareas which are there to help ensure that all of our children are safe when crossing the road. The cones along Nethershiel Road are to note a no parking area.
• Change of clothes: A reminder that in younger clans, you may wish to send your child in with a change of clothes for accidents.
• Playground: The property team have been looking at solutions to the muddy areas in the playground over the February Break. In the meantime, I would recommend children keeping outdoor shoes in their cloakroom space and if your child does enjoy playing in these areas, to send them in with a change of clothes. On the days when we have wet weather we do encourage children not to play in the mud, and we would appreciate your support with this please.
• Impactful Parents West Lothian: Find out more information here.
• School excursions: We are looking for families and community friends to join our PVG list to support on school excursions, this process is currently free. If you or if you know of anyone who can support please email the school office for a form. We would greatly appreciate your support.
• Primary 7 Fundraiser: More information to come here.
• Living RFC Easter Rugby Camp: More Information here
• WOW Badge Design Winners: Find out more about our competition here.

Calderwood Compliments:

• A huge thank you to our Parent Council fundraising which has recently purchased us: Outdoor P.E equipment, supplemented the cost of Sumdog for P1-7, topped up our clan cosy corners resources and new playground toys (which we are in the process of organising).
• Calderwood Ski Team: Glencoe Event
• Thank you to all the volunteers who helped to make our Primary 2 clans, excursion possible this week.
