Calderwood Communication:

  • Parking: A reminder that the bays labelled between the school and nursery are for car users who have a blue badge only.
  • Communication: Our communication approaches are here. The fortnightly Chronicle is our main method of communication, which includes deadlines, updates, calendar dates, information and news. It provides links to the blog for those families who would like more information on a specific context. The purpose of the Chronicle is to try and prevent numerous emails. We are grateful to our Parent Council Communication team who reshare reminders and key information from the chronicle. Outwith the chronicle, we may email key messages for specific stages, any last minute changes to plans or important deadlines .
  • Home Learning Choice Grids: The home learning grids issued each term, linked to learning in clan and are optional tasks for children to complete at home. The blue boxes are to help you to prioritise which tasks to complete. Primary 1-3 should share their tasks on Seesaw, Primary 4-7 on Teams, if you would prefer a jotter to share tasks please ask your child’s champion. You can find the Term 2 Grids here.
  • Term 2 Learning Letters: You can find the expected learning for your child’s clan for this term here.
  • Parent Council Christmas Clothes Shop: You can find more information here.
  • At our Term 2 House Meetings, our Primary 7 clans took the lead in planning a workshop about Children in Need. They shared with our houses what the charity Children in Need did and then each house had a different activity to complete. You can find out more here.
  • You can find the School Updates at our recent Parent Council Meeting here.
  • Winter Ready: In the event that the playground has to be closed in the morning due to ice or snow, children will enter the building through the front door and move directly to their clan. The priority routes to be gritted are on this blog post.
