Useful Information for New S1 Parents
-Locker letters will be issued next week to S1. For pupils who would like a locker, the cost is £10 and require a permission slip to be returned. Pupils can keep their locker throughout their time at school.
-Our Daily Notices (full of information for pupils) are shown to pupils every morning at registration. These are uploaded to our website at the end of each school day so parents/carers can view them as well. Please see 'Daily Notice' section of this website.
-We are in the process of compiling a list of extra curricular clubs your child can go along to if they wish. We have a variety of lunchtime and after school clubs that pupils are welcome to go along to, should they wish. The timetable for these will be published in the coming weeks.
-S1 Assembly Day is usually on a Friday. This week however, we had it on the first day of school.
-If your child is unwell or has an appointment during the school day please let the school know as soon as possible. You can do this by calling 01463 667800 or emailing us at ira@highland.gov.uk (please note, you will not receive a reply to an absence email, due to the volume of emails we receive).
-If your child feels unwell during the day, they should go to the nurse and she will then contact home. Pupils are not permitted to sign out or leave the school without prior permission from a parent.
-We have put below a structure of our week, showing the timings of our daily periods, intervals and lunches for your information.
Please see here for a letter from Mr Engstrand, Rector sent out to all parents and carers

WELCOME S1!
New S1 Pupils will be met by their buddies tomorrow morning in the atrium. They will be shown to their registration classes where they will be re-issued with a timetable and given their chromebooks.
We look forward to welcoming all pupils back to school tomorrow!
Please ensure you come prepared, with charged chromebooks and school uniform. All pupils will be re-issued with a copy of their timetable at registration.
We would like to wish all of our students who sat their SQA examinations last term the best of luck for their results tomorrow, Tuesday the 6th of August. We hope that students receive not only the grades they were expecting but even better!
Text messages and emails will be sent to candidates who have registered with MySQA, from 08:00 onwards on Results Day. If you have opted to receive your results by post, it will depend on when your mail normally arrives.
All candidates have been sent a results day leaflet which explains the results and the appeals process. An electronic version can be found here. Please read this leaflet carefully.
In the event that candidates feel that their grade is not correct, they may be eligible to appeal. Teachers will be available to discuss any appeals with students from the start of the new school term on Tuesday the 20th of August. Mrs Reid will be in school tomorrow morning from 9am -1pm and will be available to discuss any more urgent issues or questions that candidates or parents/carers may have.
Any pupils who wish to make an appeal, either through Learner Direct or through the school, please complete this Google form so we can progress this and arrange and for a member of staff to discuss this at the start of term. Google Form Link
We hope everyone has a lovely summer break and we look forward to seeing pupils back in school on Tuesday 20th August!
