Dear parents,
I wish to bring the following to your attention.
Parent -teacher meetings will take place on Wednesday October 25th and Thursday October 26th from 3.15p.m. to 5.30 p.m. Please note change of date. Parents will receive details of appointment times during the week of October 9th. As there is no class of more than 30 children in the school, it will be possible to meet all families during those times.
Yesterday's rain caused the postponement of our girls' football match v St Nessan's and classes with the Cycling Safety School. Both will be rescheduled with the girls' football fixed for Wednesday October 4th.
