Dear Parents,
Next Steps Parents Appointments
You will find attached your letter re Next Steps Parents appointments, please return your request slip to school by Thursday 10th October. Mrs Brown will begin to make the appointments on Monday 22nd October. Please return your slip by the deadline, as this enables us to ensure that parents who have more than one child can obtain successive appointments.
Spanish Club
There is space for one or two maximum children for the Spanish After School Club. The group meets on Thursdays from 3:30 to 4:30 pm. Anybody interested should contact me, Antonio, or Oonagh at 0131 669 5315. Thanks.
We are trying to finalise details on all the other after school clubs, we will let you know as soon as we have them.
Uniform Order
Please find attached a uniform order. Please return to school by Thursday 25th October. Payment is required with the order (cheques should be made payable to St John?s School). Please return to your child?s class teacher in an envelope clearly marked UNIFORM. Please note that after this date you will not be able to order school uniform. There will not be another uniform order until April 2008.
P7 Football News?..
Congratulations to the P7 football team who successfully won all 3 of their games on Wednesday at Wardie in the 1st Round of the Scottish Cup. They are now through to the next round. Well done and thank you to Mr Wood who coached the team on the day. The team were: Marcus Campanile, Oliver Carnevale, Rachel Dickson, Marc Forrest, Jack Wright-McLeish, Scott Morrison, Keiran Muirhead, Joseph Muzyka, Jordan Sinclair and Peter Wood.
P1 Welcome Night
A wee reminder about the St John?s Parent Council welcome night for P1 parents next Wednesday 10th October, at 7.30pm at the Dalriada Hotel, 77 The Promenade, Portobello. You will be able to enjoy a glass of wine (or two) and nibbles. There will also be live music from 9pm in the main bar for parents who would like to have even more fun than just talking to us.
School Toilets
Please encourage your child to behave appropriately in the toilets. Unfortunately a small number of pupils are abusing and vandalising the toilets on a regular basis. All repairs costs come out of our devolved school budget. It costs a lot of money to call out an emergency plumber, money we could spend on resources etc. for the children. This is most unfair for those who are trying hard to look after them.

The World?s Biggest Coffee Morning
Message of thanks from Mrs Kelly: Last Friday we did indeed create a HUGE STIR!!! Thank you so much to everyone who baked, ate and generously donated! Our coffee morning was a great success and it was so nice to see so many of you join us in the hall for coffee and cakes. Special thanks to P6B and Mrs Brown for their hard work and efforts. The money has now been counted and the total amount raised was a massive £528.50 and this is now making its way to Macmillan Cancer Support. Well done St John?s School Community.
Saturday Night Stars????
I am writing to you from the independent television production company Endemol Uk. We are currently in the process of looking for extremely bright and confident children to take part in a new Saturday night BBC1 Show. The format of the new show is that of Junior Master Mind meets an intellectual and fun Gladiators style show. I am looking for young people aged between 9-15 male and female to take part. We are very excited about this show and are looking forward to working with some amazing children. If your son/daughter is interested in taking part then please contact me: Milly.Fraser@endemoluk.com
Tel: 0208 222 4926.
Lost Property ? Last Chance??.
The lost property is now overflowing and we will be clearing it after the October break. So if your child has lost anything lately, please call into school to check the lost property box.
Many thanks for your continued support and co-operation.
