Dear Parents

The Website has been recently updated. Have a good look around. I have also given the site a new header of The Biel .

Parentzone –Tell us what you think about the Parentzone website.

Parentzone is a website dedicated to providing you as a parent or carer, with the most up to date information about your child’s education.

It provides practical advice and ideas of how you can be involved in your child’s learning as well as essential information on features of Curriculum for Excellence.

If you are a parent of a child aged 3 – 18 we would be grateful if you would complete our short survey to help us ensure that Parentzone reflects the needs of all parents and carers.

The survey should take about 5 – 10 minutes to complete and all responses are confidential.

The survey will close on 30 August 2013

Consultation on Draft School Session Dates 2014/2015

Please find attached 2 draft proposals for the school session 2014/2015 for East Lothian school

Option 1       –             Proposed East Lothian draft dates for 2014/15

Option 2       –             Approved City of Edinburgh Council dates for 2014/15

If you would like to comment on the above and indicate your preferred option i.e. should East Lothian Council go with the draft proposed dates in Option 1 which aligns with Midlothian Council school session dates or should we mirror the City of Edinburgh Council dates (Option 2) then please use the link for the Council’s Consultation Hub https://eastlothianconsultations.co.uk/advanced_consultation_finder?st=open
