Dear Parent/Carer
I am delighted to see everyone
back at school and settling into the new term.
As we are now into the second
week of the new session, I thought I would take this opportunity to remind you
of some of the administration processes within the school.
The school office is open
from 8.30 am to 3.30 pm, Monday to Thursday and 8.30 am to 12.30 pm each
Friday. As from Monday 26 August the
office will close from 9.30 am to 10.15 am each day for registration purposes.
Please note that all money
and return slips for the school should be put in a sealed envelope clearly
marked with your child’s name and class.
Your child must then pass this to your class teacher and not the
school office. Payment should be
made in the form of the exact cash or cheque.
This will then be collected each day from the classroom.
All lunch orders and payments
must be handed via your child to the class each Tuesday morning in order for this to be processed for the following
week. In the event that your child is
absent on the Tuesday, please refer to your school lunch booklet and telephone
the office with your order by 9.30 am.
Should you have more than one child in the school, it would be helpful
if each order form could be kept separate.
Should you wish to purchase a
book bag, school bag or tie from the school, it would be much appreciated if
you could avoid the office during the extremely busy times at the beginning and
end of the day, however, we would encourage you to send this request to school
with your child via the class teacher in a sealed envelope and the office will
ensure this is delivered to your child’s class to take home with them.
Should your child have an
appointment throughout the school day, a note must be passed via your child to
the class teacher who will inform the office.
All school uniform is ordered
online at www.border-embroideries.co.uk
and can be delivered either to the school or your home address which will incur
a small postal charges. Details can be
found on the Border Embroideries website.
If you are making payment by vouchers, this can be processed by the
school office.
As I am sure you can
appreciate as we have an extremely busy school office, it would be much
appreciated if you could ensure your child comes to school fully equipped for
the day including packed lunches, gym kit, etc. Can I also ask that your child is picked up
on time each day and that they know who is collecting them.
This will help alleviate long
queues and waiting times at the school office and help us provide a more
efficient service. Thank you for your
continued support.
Flora’s Opportunities for All Fund - Achievement for
All
We pride ourselves on being
an inclusive school and wish all our pupils to have access to all activities
and events in school. With the support
of the Parent Council, a fund has been set up to ensure that no child is unable
to attend activities and events due to financial circumstances. Each club has been asked to contribute a
percentage of any profits towards this fund.
Should you wish to access
this fund, please speak to me in confidence by telephoning the school office to
make an appointment..
School Photographs
Please note our School
Photographer will be in school on Thursday 29 August to take all class
photographs.
Active Schools Programme
Please note information with
regards to the Active Schools Clubs for this session will be sent out to all
classes in the next couple of days.
Fruit Washing P1/P2 parents.
We require volunteers who can give 1h-1h1/2 on Mondays (or on
the first days of school resuming after breaks). The idea is that the more
volunteers we have, the less frequent the job would be for each person.
Please could anyone who is interested in getting involved contact Isabelle Rosevear, on the Parent Council email: florastevensonpc@yahoo.co.uk,
with their name and mobile number or phone Isabelle on 079 48 26 48 19.
