It has been fantastic to have the pupils back in school this week and the amazing weather has seen us using our outdoor space for a lot of learning and play.

I am delighted to being sending updates this term to the families of the children who will be joining us in P1 in August, so that they get used to receiving news about our school every Friday. We are planning our induction days for the new P1s and the provisional dates for these are Thursday 12th June (9 until 12) and Monday 16th June (all day). The children will have the chance to come in and see how we learn and play in the P1 to 4 classroom and experience some of our routines. More information to follow.

Communication with school – week beginning 28th April

Please note that we will have reduced clerical capacity on Monday and Tuesday so it may not be possible for us to answer calls in the office. If you need to contact us, please send an email to enquiries-glassary@argyll-bute.gov.uk and we will get back you as soon as we are able. In an emergency, please follow our communication protocol:

Emergencies

If you require urgent assistant or have an emergency involving your child during the school day, please be aware that school may not be able to respond immediately.

Please consider calling your GP, the emergency services or Children and Families Social Work for help.

If there is an emergency situation during the school day affecting your child and we need to contact you, we will do so using the contact details that you have provided us with.

 On Tuesday 29th April, we will also have an interruption to all phone services, as Teams telephony will replace Skype telephony for all schools and education staff.  On Tuesday 29th April, you will therefore not be able to contact us by telephone on the school number or Mrs Carter’s direct line. As above, please follow our communication protocol if you require assistance during the school day. We will have access to mobiles, should we need to contact you.

Whole School Learning Together Trip.

The provisional date for this is Friday 30th May – please save the date as we would love as many of you to come along with your child as possible. Mrs McLymont is finalising details and you will receive information and consent forms next week.

P7 residential

We are currently finalising the details of the P7 residential at the Lochranza Centre and will issue details to P7 families next week. Please note that there is no cost to families for this opportunity and there is no requirement for specialist equipment or clothing to be purchased as the centre can lend this if required.

 P7 Leaver’s Assembly and end of year celebration

The date for this will be Monday 23rd June. Please save the date!

Have a great weekend.
