Dear families
Another brief update from me with some information that you may find useful and a reminder of some key dates between now and the summer.
P7 Residential to Arran
Well, the sun and sleep gods were very kind to us and we had the most fantastic time at the Lochranza Centre on Arran.
The children from the three schools mixed incredibly well and I am confident that they have made new friends for High School and life. Both of our group leaders from the centre, Euan and Kieran were full of compliments about the children and their positive attitude, resilience and manners.
You can check out some of the photos from the trip and hopefully they will give you a sense of the location, weather and range of activities we experienced – https://www.glassary.argyll-bute.sch.uk/p7-residential-on-arran/
Once again, we are very grateful to the Parent Council for working with A’Chruach Wind farm Community Fund to secure the funding for this trip.
We wish our P7s all the best this week and next as they head to the High School for their induction days.
New lunch ordering and payment system
We are delighted that so many of you have registered to order and/or pay for lunches with Ipayimpact. This system has been rolled out in many schools across the authority and made paying and ordering so much easier.
Please be aware that until after the summer, starter and pudding choices will not be available online but pupils will be able to choose these in school.
If you are experiencing any issues, please check out the Frequently Asked Questions here.
If you have not managed to get online and order for the week beginning Monday 12th June, please indicate choices on the paper copy of the menu that was issued on Friday and ensure that this is handed in on Monday morning.
