Just a wee reminder that your child's report will be posted out to you today and with it there will be a slip informing you of your child's new class teacher. On Friday you should receive an invite via your child's Glow email inviting you to a new Microsoft Team with the new class teacher. This will allow your child to participate in activities next week with their new teacher. If your child is having a teacher new to the school you may receive an invite in the name of a current member of staff, this is simply for admin purposes.

As part of our Transition Programme we were hoping to post a video for our usual Induction Evening this week. However, as we are still working on plans for the children's return to school in August we thought it would be better if the video induction was postponed until we have more comprehensive details for you. We hope to be able to have this ready next week and will share this with you as soon as possible.
4 June 2020 ~ New P1 parents/carers
We have added two new videos for you and your child to view together on our P1 Transition Hub. Look for 'a story with Miss Livingstone' and 'Some Advice from our current P1 children'.
We hope our new P1s will enjoy these! Our little delivery from our P6 buddies should be with you early next week.
