Daiva Dovyde is our family support officer and she can work with any P1-3 families from our school, and wider school community, who need any type of support. This can be wide ranging and bespoke - she offers computing classes, access to financial supports, assistance with any form filling etc

She is offering support specifically for one parent families at a session next Friday 16^th February at the St Francis Centre. You need to book a space if attending as only 3 spaces remain.

This Wednesday (17th January) our Count on Us sessions start for parents - these are completely free and run for 8 weeks. Please see the attached poster for some of the areas we can help with. They will be friendly and informal with tea/coffee and cake so it would be lovely to see as many parents as possible. If you would like to come along, or have any questions, please contact me via seesaw or by phoning the school office on 0141 429 2444.

Kind regards,

Mrs Marsh
