There will be an ‘Information Session’ on Thursday 31st October at 3.30pm for all parents/carers of P6 & P7 pupils who will be attending this year’s residential trip to Dalguise, Perthshire.

This will be an opportunity to find out a little more about some of the activities the children will experience and a chance to ask any questions you may have. If you have any queries/questions regarding this trip and are unable to attend this meeting, please don’t hesitate to contact the school to discuss these further.

An information sheet and suggested clothing list for parents/carers was sent home at the end of term. If your child has not received this then please collect a copy from the school office.

West Lothian Council’s Attendance Policy

October 17, 2013 Mrs Waugh Leave a comment

An AIMS team (Attendance Improvement Management Service) has been created within West Lothian’s Children & Young People Team (CYPT) which will raise the profile and priority of attendance issues with a focus on early intervention, transition, individual and group work approaches. The AIMS team work in partnership with schools and families to support West Lothian Council’s Attendance Policy. The AIMS information leaflet for parents/carers has been posted on the blog for you to have a look at and hard copies are available in school. West Lothian Council’s Attendance Policy provides a system that intervenes at an early stage and letters are sent to parents/carers when their child’s attendance falls below 90%. This system keeps parents/carers informed about their child’s attendance as absences can mount up easily and this has an impact on their overall attendance percentages.
