MARCH 2023 NEWSLETTER

We are coming to the end of term 3 and snow is still possible. Please ensure your child has a coat with them as we try to make sure the children get outside in the fresh air as much as possible.

You will be aware that Mrs Leitch will be leaving Tullos next term on the 28th April after 32 years working in the school. Miss Mackinlay and Miss Singer will continue to lead the school while the head teacher post is being filled.

Thank you everyone who helped raise money for the Turkey and Syria Earthquake Appeal. We raised £ 289.99. Great effort everyone.

Our Bingo was also well attended, and we raised £475 and had lots of fun.

LATE ARRIVALS

Recently we have a lot of children arriving at school after 9am. This is detrimental to the child’s education and effects their progress because they are not getting the input at the beginning of the lesson. It can also be unsettling for the child and can affect their behaviour for the rest of the day. Obviously, we understand there are the odd day where the transition from home to school can be difficult however regular lateness is not acceptable and is recorded.

PUPIL FINAL REPORTS

In term 4 you will be issued with your child’s final report for session 2022-23.
