Modern Languages SQA Speaking Exams
These are taking place all this week.

You must be revising and practising thoroughly for those at home and in class. If you do not, you run a high risk of underperforming. There are no resits!

You should attend GASS where it is offered. It has been and will continue to be.

Library - Lunchtimes
From Monday 12th March - Thursday 29th March the library lunchtime sessions will be for study only.  This is to allow S4-S6 pupils to study, finish folio pieces.  Any S1-3 pupils who need to use PC's for homework, should speak to Mrs Brown.

Pupils who have Prescribed Medication in School
If your child has prescribed medication in School, it is imperative that you keep this medication up to date.  Letters have been sent home and to date there are still nine pupils who have out of date medication.  If your child requires this medication in an emergency, then we cannot give it.  I would be grateful if Parent/Carers who have received these letters would hand in the medication ASAP.  If you child no longer requires medication, you must inform the school in writing.
Mrs Fraser (Welfare)


 

Pupils who have Non-Prescribed Medication in School
If your child has non-prescribed medication in School, I have sent letters home via the pupils.  I would be grateful if you could complete the forms and return to School ASAP.  We cannot administer any medication without the completion of these forms.
Mrs Fraser (Welfare)
