Should you wish to discuss any issues at all relating to your child, please write a note in their homework diary or contact the school office to pass a message to the class teacher. Homework Diaries We would like to know what you think about the P1-3 homework diaries we have used this year. Please drop us an email or send us a message if you found them useful. Several of the class teachers have pointed out that we really could have used simple jotters/notebooks instead. Newly furbished The ‘Life-skills’ room and the ‘Sensory’ rooms are complete now. We are currently collating names for these rooms. Let us know if you have any good suggestions. Librarian As you may know, Mrs Aiken has left her voluntary post as librarian. The pupils presented her with a card and bouquet of flowers as a small token of our gratitude THANK YOU to our PTA for funding the eclipse viewers. More pictures can be seen on the blogs. 1 31/03/15 for her hard work and loyalty towards improving literacy in the early stages. We wish her all the best and miss her already! She knew the pupils well and we hope to continue to support them as they develop their personal reading interests. Please contact Mrs McKenzie should you be willing to devote some time to volunteering as librarian. A parentmail will be sent out soon with more information. Mrs McKenzie has drawn up a timetable with the specific requirements. Parentmail As we aim to be more eco-friendly and cost effective, please ensure that you are registered for Parentmail . If you need an access code please contact the school office after the Easter holidays . A letter explaining how to register your e-mail address will be given to your child. If any existing users of Parentmail need to change their e-mail address please use the “help” facility as the office staff are not authorised to do this for you. Printed copies are still having to be produced for those who are not registered for ‘Parentmail’ and this is time consuming and expensive in a large school. Thank you for your support with this.
