• I was pleased to hear so many positive outcomes from Parent Consultations, if you were not able to attend, please rearrange with the class teacher.
• Well done to our Burns poetry winners, Amelia in P3C and Gracie in P7C.
• I was asked about Religious and Moral Education, I have added our Policy to the website.
• If you would like to complete the City of Edinburgh Council Parent and Carer Survey to let us know how we are doing, please do so before 02 March 2018 on https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/pacr17

• I am told the Community is going to hold a ‘head lice bug-busting weekend’ to try and get rid of them once and for all! Please check everyone’s hair in the family and ask friends too.
• School lunches: please let your class teacher know if anyone misses or has the wrong school lunch and they will be able to address this quickly.
