Message to all at Christmas

Dear Parents and Carers,
As we approach the Christmas holidays, I would like to send you and your families our warmest wishes for a joyful festive season and a prosperous New Year.
This term has been very busy, and both pupils and staff have worked incredibly hard. We are so grateful for the support you have shown us throughout, whether by attending our many Stay, Play and Learn sessions, joining in at the Christmas Craft Fayre, or enjoying the Christmas Concert. Your involvement and encouragement are always deeply appreciated and make such a difference to our school community.
Thank you once again for your continued support. We wish you a peaceful Christmas and look forward to welcoming everyone back in the New Year.
Kind regards,
Mrs Ferguson

Christmas Church Service

Christmas Church Service
Our pupils will walk to church this morning for our Christmas Service and Nativity led by P5/6 and P6 and all families are welcome to join us.
Families are seated upstairs in the church. As requested by the church, could I remind parents that there should be no food or drinks brought into the church and please do not lean over the balcony.
We hope to arrive at church at approx. 9:15am.
Children can wear their Christmas jumper today but school trousers or skirts should be worn with these.

Staff Changes for Term 3

Dear Parents and Carers,
I am delighted to share some exciting news with you. Miss Nicoll, our Deputy Head, has been offered a secondment as Acting Headteacher at Calside Primary in Dumfries until Easter. This is a wonderful opportunity for her to further develop her leadership skills, and we wish her every success in this role.
To support our school during this period, Mr Schoolar and Mrs Duignan will step into Acting Principal Teacher positions until Easter. I am confident they will embrace this opportunity to help steer the school and continue to support our pupils, parents, and wider community.
Following Miss Porter’s appointment to a full-time role in the Learning Centre from January until the summer, Mrs Carruthers will be teaching P3/4 on Thursdays and Fridays, which will be fantastic for the class.
We will also have additional support in place:

• Mrs Vivers and Miss Chan will each cover a day for Mr Schoolar on his management days.
• Mrs Magnay will cover Mrs Duignan’s management days.
• Miss Haylay and Mrs Mason will also be providing cover on some days in the interim.

While these are a number of changes, I am confident they will ensure continuity and provide strong support for our young people and the school community.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
Mrs Ferguson 
Headteacher

Choir Practice

There will be no choir practice on Tuesday 6th January.  This will resume on Tuesday 13th January.
 

Celebrating our Choir's Success!

A huge well done to our School Choir who sang their hearts out this morning at Tesco and Lydiafield. They represented the school really well.

The pupils showed real dedication and their performances were warmly received by everyone who listened. Our four-legged friend stole the show at Lydiafield but we have adopted her as our new choir mascot!

We are also delighted to share that the choir raised £152 for music resources, a fantastic achievement indeed!

Thank you to all staff and parents who supported the choir today. It was a wonderful showcase of our school community in action.
 

Lost property box

We have tried to empty our lost property box, as it is overflowing. 
If your child is missing a school jumper, or polo then please pop by the school office to have a look.  We also have jackets, gloves, hats, bottles etc
Can I please ask that names are put on all school jumpers, coats etc to avoid this on-going problem.
Can these all be collected before the end of Term 2 on Friday 19th December.
Thank you all in advance.
