Calderwood Communication (for information):

• You will understand as our school continues to grow, we currently have 382 children across 14 clans, champions, children and parents all play their role in helping our routines to run smoothly. We understand that emergencies crop up over the course of the school day and changes might need to be communicated at late notice. However, there are some routines that we require families support with:
• If your child is going to be absent it is your responsibility to contact the office before 9am to report the absence. This can be done by email, phone or leaving a voicemail. Failure to report an absence will start the implementation of the West Lothian Safe Arrival policy, which may result in social work or police being contacted. We also recognise that we need to continue to procedures are accurate in terms of absences.
• Try to encourage your children to be organised for the school day with their jacket, bag, lunch box, glasses, musical instrument, etc.
• We email out the calendar and any actions for families every Friday, we also email reminders of important deadlines. We would request that families keep an eye out for these emails, such as EE2, photo, events, reminders, so that your child does miss out.
