Tue Apr 21st 2020

Dear Parent & Pupils

Welcome back after the Easter break everyone. School has now resumed.

Pupils : It is important for you to continue with your education and I urge you all to log on and complete the work provided as per timetable. Teachers are available for support. Please access this as required.

Parents : Can I please stress the importance of ensuring your child is engaging fully. This is important for their future education. This time must be used purposefully as we do not know how long this situation will last. Teachers are working daily to provide work and support and all pupils need to take responsibly for their commitment to this. I urge you to encourage them on a daily basis. I know this is a difficult time but it is better for pupils to have a routine and be occupied beneficially.

Finally, support for both parents and pupils is available through our email address   stbenedictshighenquiries@renfrewshire.gov.uk

Please use this service and take care.

Yours sincerely

 

Alan Taylor
Head Teacher
