Dear Parent

Newsletter � 01.12.05

Adverse Weather- My apologies that the school closure telephone line was not updated until 8.10 a.m. last Friday morning but I had some difficulty at home accessing the telephone line and had to come into school to get it done. These problems have now been sorted and I should be able to get the message on much earlier next time this occurs. Please find on the back of this Newsletter the official guidance for parents on the use of the telephone information service. I will not, however, be using the other features as indicated at the bottom of the page and I would recommend that the pink flier you received is the most straightforward way to keep the information number to hand.

School Board/Parent Council: A Comparison � A number of leaflets with this title have been received from the Scottish Office and are available in reception for any parent who wishes one.

Christmas Lunch Arrangements � Wed 7 December � To accommodate all children P1-3 will have their lunch from 12 � 1 p.m. and then watch a video from 1 � 2 p.m. Children in P4-7 will watch a video from 12 � 1 p.m. and then have lunch from 1 � 2 p.m. This is the only way I can make the staff available to support the lunch and still be able to eat themselves. If your child is going home then this will be at 12 noon for P1-3 and 1 p.m. for P4-7. I would appreciate if no children from P1-7 returned before 2 p.m. as all staff will be fully occupied and unable to answer the door or supervise playground etc. All children having a school lunch should come in to Reception between 8.45 � 9.10 a.m. on Wednesday bringing �1.50 if required. Staff will be at tables in reception to deal with the 150+ children so please come early if you can.
