A parent has requested that a note be sent home looking for 2 Reversible fleece jackets that have disappeared since the start of term.  The name Sam Mennie is written inside the hood area of both jackets, could you please check at home and return to the school office if found.

·       Organising events

Dear Parent/Carer,

There is a possibility that members of Unite, GMB and Unison will be taking strike action on Wednesday, 24^th September 2008.  Staff groups that may be included include janitors, cleaners, kitchen staff, pupil support assistants and office based staff.

Following a careful risk assessment, and taking all factors into consideration, I have decided that the school will be closed to all pupils on Wednesday 24^th September 2008.  As you can appreciate this has not been an easy decision to make.  We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Where office staff are on strike, there will inevitably be some difficulties in dealing with telephone calls and I would be most grateful therefore if you would only telephone the school in the event of an urgent emergency.

Yours sincerely,

Louise McIntosh

Head Teacher

Dear Parents,

On Friday 10^th October 2008, the staff at Loirston School intend to raise money for the Breast Cancer Campaign and will ‘WEAR IT PINK’ on that day.  Although this is a staff fund-raising event, any pupils who wish, may dress for the day in pink and contribute to the fund-raising (£2.00 suggested).  The actual theme as identified by the charity is DARE TO WEAR IT PINK!  Class teachers will be happy to take any donations on the day and will discuss appropriately with pupils why all members of staff are wearing pink.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

M. S. MCPHEE

Depute Head Teacher
