Easter Assemblies
On Friday 3rd April we will welcome Rev Mitchell from Northesk Church to Campie for three Easter assemblies lead by our Primary 2 pupils. These assemblies will be at the usual times and will replace the service in the church.

All our families and friends are invited to join us on what will be a happy celebration of Easter, spring and new beginnings. If you have any questions about this, please contact Miss Elgin.

Campie Eco Group
The Campie Eco Friends group will collect plastic bottle tops, used tea bags and mascara wands from classes every Friday and they have now placed a collection bin for used batteries near the office.

SchoolPay

Please pay for all lunches, nursery fund, trips, panto etc. through SchoolPay – please contact school if you have not registered. We can give you your access code. This is applicable for all children from Nursery to Primary 7.
Your child will always be given a lunch. If they order one through the classroom or present themselves at the dining hall, even if you have given them a packed lunch, this will create a £2 debit against your SchoolPay account, which will need to be paid as for as the lunch has been made.

In rare circumstances, cash can be taken. Please note these circumstances are exceptional. Please let the school know if you have no access to the internet to make payments through SchoolPay.
If your child does bring cash into school to pay for a lunch, no change will be given. The cook supervisor will bank the amount handed over and credit your child’s SchoolPay account. If you require any assistance with paying for lunches or events, please do not hesitate to
contact the school.
