Dear Parents and Carers.
Thanks again for your support this week. As, during our current situation we are posting and emailing daily updates, we will not send a weekly Newsletter today. There are however some key messages and information to share with you, which I have listed below. Thanks for reading.
- Firstly, the pupils have shown great resilience in their accommodation to such a big change, your support and that of our staff has also really helped with this. At present, arrangements for next week will continue as they have been since Wednesday, if anything changes, we will let you know as soon as we know.
Contacting Us
- Please continue to send any queries to admin@st-cuthberts.edin.sch.uk and we will email or call you back. If it is urgent that you speak to somebody, our Administrators will be based at St Peter’s School and can be contacted on 0131 447 5742
School Management Support in Both Schools
- Mr Crowley and I will support our staff and pupils next week at both sites as follows:
- Monday/Tuesday – Mr Brack at St Peter’s and Mr Crowley at St Augustine’s and
- Wednesday/Thursday- Mr Brack at St Augustine’s and Mr Crowley at St Peter’s
Easter Egg Raffle and Religious Observance
- The Easter Egg raffle will go ahead on both sites from Tuesday to Thursday next week with eggs being won each day, remember it is £1 a strip of tickets. We are also hoping that our pupils will be able to join in with Holy Week services at their host schools.
Breakfast Club Returns on Monday
- We are aware that the closure of Breakfast Club this week has put a strain on some families, therefore we have sought permission to host Breakfast Club in our Nursery Temporary Unit (the green building behind the main school). This will be open from Monday 30th March. If your child is arriving at 8am, they will be collected at the main gates by Miss Mcvey, if you are bringing your child after this time, please bring them to the building for drop off.
- We have sought advice from City of Edinburgh Council re refunds for this week and will let you know once we have their thoughts.
Active Schools Clubs Finished for This Term
- Please note that all Active Schools sports clubs are now finished for this term.
School Dinners for St Augustine’s Based Pupils
- If your child is in P5-7 and based at St Augustine’s, if you order a school lunch for next week, they will receive a packed lunch and soup. If you prefer, you can choose not to order a school lunch and supply a packed lunch. Please contact our Admin mailbox with any questions.
P7 School Camp
- Lastly, welcome back to our P7 Camp attendees. Mr Crowley and Ms Armitage have been in regular contact and shared that our pupils have done themselves proud. We hope you enjoyed the photos on our P7 page of the website. Big thanks to both teachers for their time, effort and care.
We’ll update you again on Monday, until then have a lovely weekend.
