Dear Parent and Carers

Arrangements for Parent Nights for Primary 1- Primary 7 pupils

 We have organised for these parent nights to go ahead, using Google Meet, week beginning

Monday 22nd February and week beginning Monday 1st March.

Meetings will be arranged as follows:

  • Parents will log in using their child’s edubuzz details (the username and password your child uses to access google classroom).
  • On your child’s google classroom stream, look for a link to take you to the appointment booking system.
  • Appointment times will be posted on : Tuesday 16th February at 8.30am
  • Use the online system to book an appointment on either of the two days and choose a time that suits you.
  • On the day of your appointment you will log in again using your child’s edubuzz details and click on the google meet link.  The link can be found in your child’s Gmail messages or google calendar.

We have created a video to show you how to book an appointment and what to do to get onto Google Meet to see and speak to the class teacher.

A message from our Parent Council:

As we come to the end of this record breaking first ever lockdown experience, we would like our wonderful pupils, school workers, parents and teachers to come together in a digital project to celebrate one of our schools best community traditions…..we lent this tradition to the clap for carers, now its time to clap for our school and in particular our P3’s and P7’s.

We would like you to video yourselves clapping and celebrating, this can be with your family, siblings or just yourself. The videos only need to be short, anything from 15 seconds to a minute long but importantly must not exceed 100MB (you may need to help your parents with this!)

Videos can be recorded using your phone, tablet or computer and must be no more than 100MB.

They should be sent to: info@dunbarmusicschool.com
Closing date for videos: Friday 19th of June
