Face Coverings in school
A huge thank you to all our young people this week who cooperated so well by adhering to the new guidelines requiring face coverings to be worn – a fantastic demonstration of our Respect value. It is also great to see a growing number of re-useable face coverings, some very creative designs.

Senior Study
As per previous communications, S6 pupils who are studying at home in the morning (so not attending Registration, Period 1 etc.) MUST contact the School Office each day this applies to them otherwise a Groupcall message will be issued.
Ties
We have now received a big stock of the new black ties. Please ask your youngster to collect from the School Office if already pre-ordered. Ties are £7.00 and available to purchase from the School Office.
Celebration of Achievement Evening

Parents Within School
A reminder that parents should not be entering the school building without prior appointment with a member of staff. You may hand something in to office staff if urgent at the window, but you must not come through the second double doors. If you do have something to hand in to the school office, please ensure you stay behind the table so that social distancing can be maintained.
Annual Update Forms
Forms were given to all pupils last week therefore please ensure you have completed your child’s forms and it has been returned to the School Office. It is extremely important all the details we keep on the system are correct so we can communicate with you and contact you in case of an emergency.
iPad Consent Forms
Email reminders were issued to parents who we have not received parental consent forms for using the iPad’s. Please ensure this is returned to the School Office as soon as possible.
