Transition Morning Success!
This morning our children were very excited to find out who their teacher would be for next session. They all enjoyed a getting to know you activity with their new teacher and we welcomed our new Primary Ones.
Our new Primary Ones and their families joined us for a Dine Together session, so they could sample our school lunches.
Our Primary 6 children were very excited about receiving their Primary 7 tie!
Parent Portal Launch
On Tuesday 11th June, on behalf of West Lothian Council you will receive a groupcall about Parents Portal.
We would request that all of our families sign up to this facility to support our continued efforts in becoming a paperless school.
Thanks in advance.
Uphall Station Gala Day Update
UPHALL STATION GALA DAY UPDATE
With the weather threatening to come our way this evening into tomorrow the committee have made the decision to cancel the parade 😞 This decision was very hard to make and we have thought on ways to make this possible but with reluctant walkers, no ponchos for the children or canopy for the float etc it seems the only decision we could make.
Unfortunately the events in the park also have to be cancelled. Our inflatable suppliers again are reluctant to put their structures up given the forecast and the park will be far to wet for the races to take place. Safety is or main concern and we hope you understand that.
HOWEVER!!! 😊
We will still be putting on our fancy dress @11.15am in the Institute Hall where we will also have UPS Pipe Band play for us at 1pm and DJ Tubz will provide our entertainment with games for the kids. There will be tombola stalls, silly string/ toys for sale and fantastic cheesecakes and fudge. Tea/coffee will also be available so please pop down and support us in trying make a special day regardless.
We endeavour to hold a fun day in August so we can finish off the races etc, updates on that to follow 😊
Kind regards,
Uphall Station Gala Day Committee
