Stopping on Zig Zag lines outside school

Rebecca Edwards advised that Dave Malpas would be attending the next meeting to go over this subject in depth. Discussions took place regarding Park and Stride and a suggestion was made to involve Buckie High Duke of Edinburgh pupils to install this. Miss Wood advised that, according to our recent survey, only half of our pupils walk to school. Miss Wood to amend the newsletter to ask that there is ‘no stopping’ on the zig zag lines at any time.

School Photos

A suggestion was made for parent helpers to be brought in on school photo day. Miss Wood explained that this would not be possible as adults are not permitted to ‘rearrange’ hair and clothing of pupils.

It was queried whether or not we could use a local photographer instead of Tempest as some feel the cost of the photos were high. Rebecca Edwards to investigate Catchlite and Shelley Mackie costings and packages.

Group Texts

Miss Wood informed the meeting that the group text message system was up and running. A text will be issued to one parent of each child if we require to close the school due to unforeseen circumstances.

Moray Parent Forum

Rebecca advised that she attended last week’s meeting of the Moray Parent Forum. She is to meet with Alana Robertson of Friends of Cluny to discuss insurance matters which were brought up during the meeting. The next meeting is in February 2017.

Question of the Month

The Survey Monkey question of the month will be regarding school uniform and the ordering of it online.

AOCB

Vicki Clamp raised the subject of Internet Safety for pupils. Miss Wood explained that Primary 6 and Primary 7 both get Internet Safety visits. There is also a video from COEP which we will organise for the children to see. For a future Question of the Month we are to ask whether or not parents would attend an Internet Safety Meeting.

Date of Next Meeting

The next meeting will take place on Monday 30th January 2017 at 5.30pm in Cluny Primary.
