App issues

Apologies,
There appears to be an issue with the School App, where documents are not loading and an error message appears.
This has been reported to the company who manage our app, and they are working towards a solution.
Hopefully this will be rectified soon.

 

Industrial Action - 26, 27, 28 September

Following trade unions’ rejection of the latest COSLA pay offer made today, Thursday 21 September, industrial action in schools will take place next week, from Tuesday 26 to Thursday 28 September. ALL South Lanarkshire primary and secondary schools, including ASNs and school-based nurseries, will be CLOSED to pupils on those three days.
Your child has been issued with a 'learning pack' containing tasks that they can undertake during the closures.
If there any further changes to the planned strikes, we will provide an update as soon as possible.

Homework

Dear Parent/Carer,

Please check book bags tonight for two letters.  One is giving you login details to access a website called Education City which has homework tasks set for this week.  The other has information regarding a food tasting activity which we will be doing in class tomorrow.  Please get in touch with the office if your child has any allergies or intolerances which may prevent them from taking part.

Your child also has a double sided sheet with this week's homework on it.  The literacy task is all about rhyme and the numeracy task is relating to pattern which we have been working on in class.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Regards,
Mrs Stevenson

Fruit/Veg tasting

Hello Parents/Carers of Room 2, 

Tomorrow we will be having a little fun taste test of some fruits and vegetables as part of our Food focus for Literacy this week. 
It will involve the children trying some fruits and vegetables if they wish to. If there are any fruits or vegetables you wouldn't wish your child to have due to intolerances/allergies please contact the school office and let us know. 

Many thanks, 
Mrs Donald 

Picking Up Children from classes 1-5 at the end of the day

The safety of our children is always our number one priority. We feel that the current arrangements do not give the teaching staff as full control over dismissing the children at the end of the day as we would like. We know from speaking to many parents / carers that you feel this too. Therefore, from today (Monday 18 September) we will put new  arrangements in place as follows:

• Rooms 1 and 2 will leave first and be handed over to parents / carers at the gate to the playground.
• Parents / carers of Rooms 3-5 should wait in the MUGA until they see their child's class coming to the gate to the playground, and only then should they leave the MUGA to come and collect their children.
• When collecting your child, please stand well back so that staff can clearly identify which child is going where.
• Please resist the temptation to wave to your child until they are at the very front of the line, as this can be confusing for staff as they try to pass on the correct child to their responsible adult.

We hope these measures will make things safer for our children. Please inform whoever is picking up children of these new arrangements.

We'd also like to remind all parents that smoking or vaping in the school grounds is not allowed. Dogs are not allowed in school grounds either. We ask that you follow these rules too to keep our children safe and healthy.
