• End of Day Pick-Up Reminder (P1): Our Primary 1 team would kindly ask that if you wish to speak with your child’s teacher at the end of the school day, you wait outside the cloakroom area rather than entering the cloakroom itself. This allows staff to safely support the last children as they collect their belongings and leave the building. Thank you for your understanding and support.
• Medication Reminder: To help ensure the safe administration of medication in school, please do not place medication in your child’s school bag. Any medication should be handed directly to the school office by an adult. Where possible, please also provide details of the time and amount of the last dosage given. Thank you for helping us keep our children safe.
