Dear Parents/Carers,

Meet the Teacher

We are looking forward to seeing our families on Tuesday 10^th September from 4pm – 5pm.  (P1 slightly earlier.)

You have the option to attend a quick 10 minute update with Mr Gilhooley at 4pm and 4.30pm in the Lower Hall.  You can then head to your child’s class to meet the teacher and have a tour of the classroom.

Head Lice

We currently have a couple of children in Bruntsfield being treated for head lice.  Please check your child’s head regularly to avoid the spread.  https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/skin-hair-and-nails/head-lice-and-nits/
